We are a new group meeting in Skelmorlie Community centre once a week, we are doing the Scottish Discovery award and have just started on our bronze award. Our group is for people over the age of 50 but we are all nearer 70 years old and this is a real social event for us, allowing us to meet new people and go discovering new places and learn new things. We find this helps us from becoming isolated as we live in a rural village.
Description
As part of our discovery award we have to complete 180hours for each unit which include doing hobbies and interests, volunteering, discovering so for us to be able to do this we would love to be awarded some money to help us with the costs we will incur such as day trips to historic venues of interest i.e. entry costs and travel and refreshments. Costs invloved on this may vary depending on the venue however an amount of £300 would go a long way to help us be able to achieve our bronze award, we will be hosting events for the community such as coffee mornings etc so we will have an initial outlay for this.
We would like to also go together as a group to the Pavillion theatre in Glasgow to see a panto in December and to go for a Christmas lunch. The panto is called 'the beauty and the beastie and the cost for each person in £29 and we would love to go to the butterfly and pig on bath street before the panto and the cost for this on a Wednesday is £30pp so the overall cost would be for 10 people would be £590.00 and £10pp for a return train so £100 for this. so total is now £690.00.
