We run Garnock Valley Carves, which takes place on Saturday 9th September and is expected to attract around 3000 visitors. 28 carvings (produced by 14 international carvers) will be auctioned at the end of the day, some for community benefit.
The event costs around £12000 to run. We try to make all children's activities free, with reduced entry for families (under 5's are free). Free stalls are offered to all not for profit community groups.
We provide 2 Face Painters, 2 Story Tellers, Play outdoors, Axe Throwing, Hands on learning at the Amateur Radio station, Wood working skills, and others.
Funds requested: £1000 to cover face painting and storytelling.
We have provided a breakdown of last year’s costs, and we plan to bring in additional funding from other sources to cover the outstanding costs:
Hire of 2 Face Painters @ £250 each = £500
Hire of Story Tellers @ £250 each = £500
Hire of Play Outdoors @ £650 + Vat = £780
Hire of Marquee 1 @ £400 =£400
Council Event Fees = £494

Insurance for the event = £406.35
Total of above (Last years prices) = £3,656.35
These are only some of the costs involved in running this prestigious event for the area.
Stoneyholm Mill Trust
2023-02-08 • No comments • • Connected Communities • Garnock Valley Arts and Culture
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.

The funding will allow us to buy much needed resources for the group. This would encourage more young people attend and tackle social isolation in this rural village which has a massive effect on mental health and contributes to stress, anxiety.
By purchasing new resources will encourage members of the group to continue to attend as well as attracting new members, to participate in calming activities to tackle and combat any stress and anxiety they may be feeling.
We are looking to reduce the young peoples stress and anxiety in the locality as well as promoting diversity and social inclusion.

Dalry Community Development Hub

We have outgrown our small basic greenhouse. We have been able to raise most of the funds to purchase a new substantial larger one. This will benefit our volunteers and schools and will enable us to grow so much more from seed and give us an extra space for teaching, producing more fruit and vegetables to give back to our community. We have found the health and wellbeing of our volunteers and visitors have greatly improved by participating at the community garden.
Funds requested: £1000

As our academy numbers grow substantially post COVID we are needing to replace our boards more often, these boards are very expensive and we go through a large amount throughout the year. We strongly believe that no child should go with out so we would like to purchase some darts that the youths can borrow whilst at the academy as well as more stems, flights, rings etc. We would also like to purchase some academy darts shirts for those that can't afford them so no child feels 'left out'.
Funds requested: £700
