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. We have our own central base in Lochgilphead and are open full-time. MAYDS works hard to break down barriers the children and young people we work with face by offering a full-time robust program of activities, projects, training, educational and support services. Along with running diversionary activities (free swimming, youth drop in's, music groups, outreach work etc)., we also provide support for the more marginalised and harder to reach groups like Young Carers, Children with Additional Support Needs, Vulnerable Families, those without Positive Destinations, those suffering Poor Mental Health etc. We do this via programs such as free counselling, employability support, respite, ASD groups, drug and alcohol education etc.
