We would like funding to help continue the breakfast club over the next few months as previous funding has now come to an end. The breakfast club costs just over £100 per week to run, providing free breakfasts to 60-80 people every week it runs. This helps reduce the impact of the cost of living by allowing people to come to a warm safe space for food. It also helps link people up and improve mental health and wellbeing by bringing the community together.

Requested Amount: £1000

week x 10 weeks Total - £1000

We would like to host a series of cinema events to further our aims as above, highlighting the LGBTQIA+ community, providing educational opportunities, helping gather and provide support opportunities for LGBTQi Citizens and others and establish a network of information and connect with others to ensure the needs and wellbeing of the LGBTQIA+ population is represented appropriately and effectively.  Our core values of Celebrate and Educate are central to this idea and provides a new and exciting opportunity to create a significantly improved venue within our community-whilst testing out if there is support to develop the idea further and provide evidence of both need and positive outcomes?

We hope to secure additional funding to provide free seats to those under 16 (where the screening licence permits) working in partnership with young people from High School and the Youth foundation and will contribute as a sustainable funding stream to assist with Arran Pride event and build community among the LGBTQIA+ population and support other areas develop their own local Pride and social events!  Our aim is to charge a maximum of £5 per seat.

We are planning two events this year. Our 1st being (Coronation / Segdoun Crowning) and a 2nd Event (Christmas Lights/Festival). This is to encourage the full community to come together aiming to increase community well-being and positive mental-health. Our Segdoune Crowing is a historic annual event in Kilwinning that motivates our town on an annual basis to come together. This year we are celebrating the Kings Coronation on the same day encouraging people in the community to join in and have fun. Our Christmas Event this year will be a light switch-on event encouraging the community to come together.

As part of the Scottish wildlife pioneer project, we will like to transform an unused part of the allotment into and alchemist trail. This will promote an active and healthy way of learning. Developing the area will encourage active exercise, improve good mental health, reduce social isolation and build confidence.  It will also be a fun way to learning about foraging. Developing this trail will also be another addition to our allotment tour. Our tour at this time includes our honey bees, pipistrelle bats as well as fruit and vegetable growing.
