At this time we run Woodwynds wee shoap and Woodys community diner. These are to provide low cost hot food as a heat hub and a community shop which provides groceries including fresh meat and fruit. We wish to continue to provide food and essential items for residents tackling food poverty.

Amount Requested:£1000

Fresh fruit £500 over 5 weeks Freshmeat and pastry £500 over 5 weeks  

We would like to work with the local food hubs to either remove the financial barrier for 250 Kilwinning residents to access the service or to supply food stocks to the value of £1000 equally between both hubs.

Amount Requested: £1000

We will supply either £500 in value of food items to both food hubs, or we will supply each hub with £500 to mitigate the cost every service user has to access to service.  We would prefer the later option, however we are open to what ever the needs of each service has.

Due to the current economic climate we are seeing a vast increase in demand for our service so this money will be used to implement and provide a lunch service which hopefully will help eleviate the pressure of our night cafe, as well as provide a warm space and food for the locality.

£1000

Promotion/ Signage - £150 Food Costs £750

This money would allow us to expand the resources and information we can offer to families involved. It would give us the opportunity to bring in external partners to share further information and benefit mental and wellbeing in households. It would allow us to provide more meaningful and relevant activities funding new resources. It would also give families an option to choose different topics where we could pull supportive services in to holistically support the whole family. This will promote positive and healthy wellbeing whilst promoting peer support within the community. 

Amount Requested: £1000

Food and drinks for families: £100 External partners £400 Child activity resources: £250 Parent resources: £250
