Saltcoats Outdoor Pool Splash
2023-02-14 • No comments • • Three Towns
We want to reopen our tidal pool in Saltcoats which has been neglected for many years. A recent feasibility study has confirmed that this is possible. Outdoor swimming continues to be very popular and investing in our pool will promote outdoor swimming and other activities ensuring safe outdoor water activities for all. It will provide an opportunity to swim outdoors, have fun sessions in the pool and more. It will improve community health and wellbeing. Key to success is to widely promote our project to continue to gather community views. Engagement to date has been extremely positive.

We would like to host a fun, social transition disco/team-building event for all primary 7's coming to join us at Ardrossan Academy in the new school year. This would create a more relaxed opportunity for the young people to link up before they formally join the secondary community. There is huge value in the traditional transition days, however we are proposing a more relaxed and enjoyable experience to help ease the process and allow the children to experience the community feel rather than just classes.
Requested Amount: £1000
£350 Team building resources £350 Disco/Photo Booth £300 Refreshments/Decorations

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.
