The Young Parents Group will be a pilot for 9 months, running weekly on a Friday 12.30pm - 2.30pm.We envisage a core of 10 parents but accept others may dip in and out. We will look to discover if we have the need that everyone talks about. An example of a young mum a member of staff spoke with explains she had no idea how to make a bottle apart from looking it up in google, she didn't want to appear 'stupid' so never asked questions, didn't attend parent & toddler groups as she always thought they were for older more experienced parents. We've mapped postcodes of our current beneficiaries against the SIMD 2016 rank using a tool on the Scottish Government website and this has confirmed that: • 70% of those we're engaging live in the worst 5% of datazones in Scotland • 91% of those we're engaging live in the worst 10% of datazones in Scotland • 100% of those we're engaging live in the worst 20% of datazones in Scotland Some of our existing parents talk about when they were pregnant "how lonely I felt, especially after I gave up work and was used to seeing people every day, I felt that I never had anyone to talk to", explaining that they felt there was a lack of support groups that they could attend that was about their needs, not just the babies needs and the pressures to feel amazing as they had a new baby and in reality some of them never felt this. Some parents said they would have felt more comfortable attending somewhere that they knew on their doorstep without the additional stress of travelling on 2 buses to get to a service as they felt quite nervous. That was some of our older parents, so we want to make sure that this is not repeated, that there is a service on the doorstep for young parents to ensure that they do not become socially isolated. Many of the parents we will be working with are young and will suffer from ACE's (adverse childhood experiences) and as such need support with their parenting and relationships. Through no fault of their own they have had poor parenting experiences and lack the tools and techniques for them to enjoy their children The group will offer a chance to support young parents when they can be at there most vulnerable. We would like to offer different activities that target various areas to support them as a person and parent. This could include activities addressing positive parenting, healthy eating/cooking ideas/cooking on a budget, children/parent activities - this may involve messy play, Bookbug, cooking on a budget, music sessions, trips - many of the activities that are on offer with other providers have a fee attached, which makes this unaffordable and then their children miss out on that development. It means every parent can access the activities, regardless of their financial status. We would like to train one of our volunteers, possibly a parent if willing to do this, in Baby Massage so that we can run courses as and when required for the community, instead of waiting for a trained person from a partner organisation by which time we have lost the interest of the original group. We would also offer paediatric first aid training and food hygiene training. This programme would encourage bonding with their child, a chance to learn how to play with their child and participate in actitivies to have fun with their children, to develop their skills and confidence as a person. The group would start with lunch, each week staff would lead different activities/ideas/workshops which would be co-designed by the young parents. The two staff members are experienced in youth work and also are parents. They have been on a range of training that would support the young parents, including counselling, mental health first aid for young people, Understanding Perinatal Mood Disorder. They have made many contacts with possible partners who will enhance the programme. On a monthly basis we would look at an outreach creche to come in and support the parents while they possibly have 1:1 advice or participate in self-confidence workshops, the rest of the sessions would involve their children. An idea of the programme could include: Children Activities 1. Play Group Sessions - Baby Sensory 2. Book Bug 3. Healthy Eating/Cooking with parents Parent Support 1. Bonding & Attachment Continuing Education 2. Positive Parenting Education - sleeping, eating etc. 3. Healthy Eating 4. Child Development Education 5. Play session education for parents 6. Trips We would also trial the idea of a 'baby pantry', the pantry would stock essential items and would be accessible by the young parents attending the group if they are running short of items until they receive their payment. Young parents would be allowed to pay £2.50, and receive three items from the baby box, this may include nappies, baby wipes, which may support them if they are struggling financially. The money would be used to restock the baby box. This would mean that people keep their dignity while providing for their child. Through the Family Nurse partnership we would promote our new young parents support programmes and ask them to signpost parents that would benefit from our service ensuring a local organisation is supporting the Governments Pregnancy and Parenthood in Young People Strategy. We have also recently met with the Smith Croft Secondary School Young Parent Base Coordinator to discuss the idea for our new young parents group, to talk about partnership working, the gaps in provision and signposting young parents who may have left school who do not currently access any support but may still need that support. Other partners may include Health Improvement Team, Citizens Advice Bureau etc. The group will not only be an opportunity for people to develop new skills as a person and a parent, but also to gain new peer support and relationships, which is crucial to ensure that young parents do not become socially isolated, especially those young parents who do not have the family support network.

The sessions would be delivered to people from the surrounding communities of Bridgeton, Dalmarnock and Barrowfield all of which fall into the 10% of most deprived communities in Scotland and where food poverty is a real issue. Indirectly this project will benefit much more than direct participants as the key skills taken from this will be transferable to other groups and the participants own families in the future. As this project will allow for the creation of skilled volunteers this will therefore become a programme we can replicate more easily in the future, thus giving more young people the chance to develop new skills which they will be able to use throughout their lives. By teaching young people about healthy eating and giving them the skills with which to help support their learning will also have multiple health and well being benefits for those involved. Scotland's unhealthy diet is widely cited as a factor in its poor health record. Previous research has shown that children and young people in Scotland follow a diet that falls short of national recommendations and is less healthy than that of children in other European countries, thus by educating young people in these sessions we can hopefully encourage those that take part to eat more healthily both now and in the future thus affecting their overall health positively for years to come. Health inequalities in the UK persist despite various attempts at tackling them. Data from Office for National Statistics (ONS) in March 2014 show males in the most advantaged areas can expect to live 19.3 years longer in 'good' health than those in the least advantaged areas. For females this was 20.1 years. The most deprived households in the UK spent almost a quarter of their income (23.8%) on food in 2012 compared with an annual spend of around 4% by the most affluent households (Centre for Economic and Business Research, 2013). Healthy eating costs three times as much as junk food – in 2012, the average price for 1,000 calories of healthy food was £7.49, whilst the same amount of unhealthy food was just £2.50 (Jones et al., 2014). Inequality in the form of poverty and economic hardship can often lead to people being unable to achieve an adequate, nutritious diet. Research supports the idea that 'food poverty' is an appropriate term to be used to describe situations where opportunities to consume healthy food are severely constrained and this can have a huge impact on peoples quality of life and healthy development. Our project would focus in tackling some of the issues that are created through inequality and bring together various partners in doing so to help us support some of the people who may deal with these issues. Teaching future generations, parents and families how to cook healthy and nutritious meals within a budget could be hugely beneficial to them in their lives. These skills will also be transferable to their families and thus have an even greater impact than may initially seem evident. By holding community meals we will also be able to pass on lessons and information related to healthy eating to the wider community.

We would be looking to run a project that incorporates 5 six week blocks of cooking classes that focus on teaching young people how to cook new and nutritious recipes, how to cook on a budget and help them to better understand the importance of healthy eating and a balance diet in their lives. At the end of each session the young people would then host their very own community meal for members of their family and friends to show of their new skills and share their knowledge of healthy eating. These 5 blocks would all be directed at different age groups and focus on specific issues around food that would be suitable to that age. For example when working with those who are in primary school we may focus on the basics of cooking such as basic food hygiene and simple recipes such as boiling an egg. This would be to encourage the young people to use their own initiative to cook a healthy meal for themselves if this may not be done for them at home. We would also work in partnership with other agencies such as the NHS to deliver workshops that can further educate the young people on the importance of healthy eating and the multiple benefits a good diet can have on their lives. As part of this programme we would also be looking to provide some of our volunteers from the local community with suitable training so as they can help to deliver this programme both now and in the future. This would include 4 volunteers being given the chance to complete their food hygiene award
