I would like to run an art club in partnership with the North Ayrshire Foodbank. Since November I have been providing arts and crafts sessions every week at the Foodbank's warm hub, which have been increasingly popular. Sadly, the funding is being pulled and so the people I've been working will no longer have these free sessions to attend, which was part of their weekly routine. I would use the money to run a weekly art club within the Foodbank, which would teach various practical skills, but also aim to build self-confidence, self-worth, and reduce social isolation.
The North Ayrshire Foodbank have said that if i received the Arts and Culture funding then they would enter partnership with me and provide an additional £400 to run the project.
Amount Requested: £400
lead tutor - over 24hrs work over 12 weeks - £360 tutor assistant - 8 hrs work over 4 weeks - £120 materials - £250 promotional materials/leaflets etc. - £20 refreshments - £30 resolution of course (will be decided upon by participants) - £50

At the last festival we provided a family zone on the moor to provide free activities to young people and families. This was a great success last year and we would love to be able to run it again this year. We would like to be able to provide free pancakes and toppings for people coming through as well as glitter tattoos for young people. In addition, we would like to hire extra activities such as inflatables and simulators to offer for free.
Funds requested: £1000
£150 - pancakes and toppings £100 - glitter tatoo resources £750 - equipment hire (surf simulator, bouncy castle etc)
Total - £1000
