The future of a Renfrewshire youth organisation looks bright after it was awarded a funding boost.

Renfrew YMCA is one of 14 projects receiving funding from Tiny Changes, Scotland's first national young people's mental health charity, over the next 12 months.

The charity's 'cost-of-living crisis'-themed Make Tiny Changes Fund has committed to supporting the projects through funding and additional support with a total investment of over £115,000.

Renfrew YMCA will use the money to launch new sessions for children with additional support needs and mental health and wellbeing support through services such as the Let's Introduce Anxiety Management (LIAM) and Non-violence Resistance (NVR) programmes.
