We would like some funding to run discos for special occasions throughout the year and also enough to run a tuckshop at the discos to help raise funds for the group. These discos will be ticketed to keep track of numbers but will be free for any young people to attend. The discos have previously been very well attended and provide a great opportunity for young people from across Irvine to come together and meet up.

Funds requested: £1000

West Coast Castles Hire - £200 per disco x 4 community events = £800 Tuckshop materials (sweets, juice crisps etc) - £200

Total - £1000

We would like cooking lessons and to buy hobs and ingredients allowing us to  plan and cook a healthy menu promoting a healthy lifestyle with a focus on the rising cost of living.   We would like a themed party night where the young people can develop important social and life skills such as planning and budgeting.  The group is somewhere young people from the Springside area can come together each week and take part in fun activities, spending time with friends. We would also like to experience a new activity such as ski-ing at Newmilns Dry Ski Slope as well.

Funds requested: £1000

Kitchen equipment and cooking resources £600 Fun  / Themed nights £200 Ski Trip £200  

The sewing machines we have been using are old and well used.  Unfortunately, we have some machines in need of repair which would cost too much.  Our group is well attended by users and non-users alike.  The funds we are requesting are to purchase new sewing machines and equipment for the group.  This will allow us to continue to provide sewing advice and training for the community.  Not only this we provide opportunities for people to come together to socialise, participate in group and individual activities and also promote good mental wellness.

Funds requested: £1000

2 x Janomes sewing machines - £598.00 1 overlocker - £329.00 2 x 6ft folding tables - £98.98 2x4ft folding tables - £69.98 Total - £1,095.96

We would use the funding to take all the Pegasus group members on a trip to Blair Drummond Safari Park. This would be a real boost to the mental health and wellbeing of all the group members and provide an opportunity that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford. Going away on trips allows the group to bond closer together and link up with each other.

Funds requested: £1000

Bus cost - £550  Blair Drummond Tickets - £450  Total - £1000
