Belfast YMCA have a new, upcoming project - Being Well & Giving Back. They are aware of the ongoing challenge and impact that this last year has had on young people and would love to offer an opportunity to address this.

This project will gather together 12 participants to explore the '5 steps to wellbeing' which are;

- Connecting
- Taking notice
- Being active
- Keeping learning
- Giving

Participants will take part in activities relating to each of the steps, and identify an area where they can practically give back to the community. YMCA hope that through this project participants will gain a greater understanding of their own mental wellbeing, get involved in new practical experiences and positively contribute to their community.

Programme details:
This is a 6 week programme taking place on Tuesday evenings 6:30-7:45pm. The programme will begin on Tuesday 23rd February and finish on Tuesday 30th March.
