Our project is an extra curricular Organic Gardening Club focusing on growing our own fruit and vegetables in a sustainable way within our primary school grounds. This helps our mental health and well being, has created strong links within the wider community leading to other creative opportunities, helps break down barriers to participation and we are learning so much about wildlife habitats and the importance of our pollinators. We would like to develop our project and group by purchasing materials to filled our raised beds which are lying empty in time for this years growing season.

Amount requested: £1,000

Soil/Compost. The full amount will go towards purchasing the raw materials we need to begin filling our raised beds and for us to begin sowing seeds to start off our growing season.

After the success of last years information day with over 200 people attending we would like to hold another information day for over 55's in the community and tell them about the activities and services they can access in their area. We want to inform about the voluntary sector opportunities including specialised groups eg Age Scotland, Dementia Scotland etc. We want to provide entertainment and refreshments. 

Funds requested: £1000

Hall Hire £150, Catering £400, Entertainment (2 hours musician's) £200, Publicity Materials £250

Our group would use the funds to buy props and costumes for our young people who otherwise would be unable to buy these due to the cost of living crisis.  These would be used in our school show which is due to take place in June 2023.  Many of our young people will be unable to take part in the show if they have to buy their own costumes so this would eliminate this issue

Requested Amount: £1000

Props for show - £200 Costumes and items for young people to take part in show - £800

We would like to run an ASN Family Fun Day open to all young people in the local community with additional support needs and their families.

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.
