We wish to purchase some Art materials. One of our aims is for activities within the Town Hall to be all inclusive and to provide a central and welcoming space to enhance social well being and cohesion. Problems of isolation and stress will be alleviated and if we are able to reduce our costs using funded materials problems of financial constraints will not prevent some who might otherwise not be able to benefit.

The project will invite active contributions from local community groups and primary schools to understand the history of flax growing in Kilbirnie to produce linen. This will result in an understanding of local industry and how the land was a source of natural cloth which generated wealth through the textile industry. The funding will provide interactive sessions for each of the two primary schools in Kilbirnie, as well as materials to help pupils and the local community grow their own pot flax. The resulting plants will be used in demonstrations in community sessions at Kilbirnie Library.
Funds requested: £400
Interactive sessions £200 for schools and £100 for community session. Materials £100, e.g. pots, compost.

It will encourage participants to think creatively, discover new talents/skills and build confidence.

Some ideas could possibly range from 3D design and printing to a world changing invention!
