We have outgrown our small basic greenhouse. We have been able to raise most of the funds to purchase a new substantial larger one. This will benefit our volunteers and schools and will enable us to grow so much more from seed and give us an extra space for teaching, producing  more fruit and vegetables to give back to our community. We have found  the health and wellbeing of our volunteers and visitors have greatly improved by participating at the community garden.

Funds requested: £1000

We wish to encourage people to get together again after covid by holding two major concerts. The first would feature Kilwinning Orchestral Flutes and the second Irvine and Dreghorn Brass Band. We will invite school choirs to take part in both concerts. We will work in conjunction with Barrmill Jolly Beggars to deliver these two concerts. We believe there is still a major problem with many older folk being reluctant to get out and mix together and these two concerts aim to encourage socialising.

Funds requested: £1000

Concert 1 - Kilwinning Orchestral Flutes £500; School Choir donation: £100; Hall Hire £200: Master of Ceremonies £50 (travel expenses and thank you gift); First aiders (2) £50; purvey at interval: £300; Car park attendants: £30; Stewards: £40; Advertising/Tickets/programme £70.

Concert 2 - Irvine and Dreghorn Band £700; School Choir donation £100; Hall Hire: £200; Master of Ceremonies £50 (travel expenses and thank you gift); First aiders (2) £50; purvey at interval: £300; Car park attendants: £30; Stewards: £40; Advertising/Tickets/programme £70.

Total estimated cost of both concerts: £2880. This will be offset by donations at the door which will be donated to a local group viz previously Garnock Valley Disability Forum.

We provide 2 Face Painters, 2 Story Tellers, Play outdoors, Axe Throwing, Hands on learning at the Amateur Radio station, Wood working skills, and others.

Hire of Play Outdoors @ £650 + Vat   = £780

Council Event Fees                               = £494

Hire of Toilets  6 off                              =£576

Insurance for the event                        = £406.35

 

Total of above (Last years prices)         = £3,656.35
