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.

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.
