Service Details

Mid Argyll Youth Development Services (MAYDS) works with children and young people 0 to 26 years old, providing a range of recreational, educational and tailor made support services. Living rurally the children and young people of Mid Argyll face many disadvantages and inequalities due to issues such as limited public transport, lack of further training and employment opportunities, lack of support services etc. MAYDS works hard to break down those barriers by offering a full-time robust programme of activities, projects, training, educational and support services. Along with running clubs, sports sessions, music groups, drama and arts, trips etc. it also provides free training programmes, alternate curriculum options and support for marginalized groups such as young carers, young parents, young people with disabilities, those with mental health issues, families in difficulty, children and young people adopted or in foster care, young people misusing substances or whose parents have an addiction etc.
