Irvine Horticultural Society - Marymass Flower Show
2024-09-20 • No comments • • Admin • Irvine
The Marymass Flower Show, including the garden and community garden competitions, is held yearly in the Irvine Volunteer Rooms to promote the showing of horticulturally arts and crafts exhibits.
The funding will help us cover the costs associated with the flower show which are increasing every year, this includes hall lets, insurance, judges’ fees and awards. To make the follower show more accessible, we will also be running some talks and demonstrations giving an introduction to horticulture, with a view to getting more people involved with the flower show. The flower show itself is a well-attended event that helps build community spirit with those who take part and have a shared interest.
If we are successful in getting the funding, we hope that the flower show and surrounding interest creates a better knowledge of the natural environment and how to protect it. Growing flowers, having a knowledge of invasive species and community growing initiatives are at the heart of what the horticultural society does, and the funding will help increase public awareness of this.
Hall lets - £500
Insurance £90
Medals for school members and school children - £75
Teas for judges, queens Marys and chaperones - £140
Payment to speakers i.e Talks to all age groups RE. horticulture - £200
TOTAL - £1000
Primary Schools’ Education Programme: Irvine Burns Club
2024-09-05 • No comments • • Irvine
To reinforce the annual school visits it is intended to produce a workbook for each pupil take away with them as a reminder of their visit.
In relation to the verse speaking “Champion of Champion” event funding is sought to provide trophies for those pupils nominated to represent their schools and performing their chosen poem.
It is intended that there will be three categories, Primaries 1-2, Primaries 3-4 and Primaries 5-7.
There are 11/12 Primary Schools in the Irvine Area, and it is hoped that all would participate.
Those nominated by their schools are also eligible to compete in the Ayrshire Association of Burns Clubs Schools’ Competition held later in the year.
We seek funding towards the printing costs of the workbooks (£500) and the purchase of 36 trophies at a cost of £20 each (£720) a total of £1220.
Irvine Takeda Karate Club
2024-09-12 • 1 comment • • Irvine
Our karate club is based in Irvine is well established and open to all. We practice in the Redburn and Castlepark community centres on Mondays, Wednesday and Saturdays. We have c. 150 members that benefit from our classes and we support physical and mental health. Our members are in all age groups and many are from deprived areas and challenged by the cost of living. Many of our members attend competitions all over the UK and we try to keep our costs low and support people so that everyone can take part. For example we already subsidise karate suits, competition entry fees etc. We’d be grateful for any funding and money would go towards equipment and suit subsidies, subsidising entry costs and occasional travel to competitions.
Estimated breakdown would be:
- Equipment (mats, punchbags, T-shirts, etc) - £400
- Suit subsidies – 40 suits x £10 subsidy = £400
- Entrance fees subsidies, we pay £1600 roughly in entrance fees – £200
Irvine Community Council

With the funding, we hope to host 2 networking events to attract members to join the community council. The community council works in partnership with several other voluntary organisations across Irvine such as Friends of Redburn, Fullarton Community Association, Marymass Festival Committee and others to run events in the locality and generally foster good relations between groups. By hosting these network meetings, we hope to attract new committee members who can increase our capacity to put on events and build community spirit between voluntary organisations.
The community council previously hosted the Irvine Yuletide event in 2023 which attracted around 10,000 people to Irvine moor. This gave families a chance to take part in free festive activities at a time of year when the cost of living hits hardest. If we can attract new volunteers to the community council, we will be able to put on more events similar to this, bringing people together and creating positive change in the community.
Costing as follows: 2 events 6 months apart
Rent of venue - £200
Promotion, including paid for advertising social media £100
Catering £700 (2 events, 70 people, £5 a head.)
TOTAL - £1000
Breakfast feeds Minds (Springside Parent Council)
2024-09-19 • No comments • • Irvine
Some children, through no fault of their own do not go to school with a full belly and we as a parent council would like to remedy this but also provide information to the children on the topic.
The way we would plant to do this is would be to launch our 'Breakfast feeds Minds' campaign. It would be our intention to provide the children in the school weekly breakfast hampers, available to any child who needs it, to ensure they have something healthy and nutritious before their school day begins. This would include granola bars, cereal pots, yogurt drinks and fruit etc that the children can grab easily but will keep them full until lunchtime.
The funding we are applying for would be broken down as follows
£900 for the purchase of breakfast items (this is based on a budget of circa £35 per week)
£100 for the procurement of literature to promote the importance of breakfast and how this feeds the health and wellbeing of a child

Our project for the School is to promote outdoor relaxation and wellness within the community. We currently have tables and benches for the senior end.
This space gives the children somewhere to sit and relax. This has also proved beneficial in allowing the seniors within our community to share any worries or concerns they may have. As there is always an adult within the vicinity this be can reacted to appropriately to ensure they get proper support.
We now want to Mirror this in the infant area to give every child the chance to have a safe relaxing space to promote wellness across our community. We are also looking to add umbrellas to the senior end tables and benches. In addition adding umbrellas to the new infant end benches; this would help keep the children safer on the warmer days.
Some of the positive feedback from the children from the infant and senior end.

Pegasus ASN Group
2024-09-19 • No comments • • Irvine
We would use the funding to take all the Pegasus group members on a 2 trips over the next year to bowling and a summer fun day. This would be a real boost to the mental health and wellbeing of all the group members and provide an opportunity that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford. Going away on trips allows the group to bond closer together and link up with each other.
The outing will help improve the mental health and wellbeing of the group members and we will have a higher bus cost due to needing one which is accessible for wheelchairs. Having this outing will improve the lives of people in the local area who have additional support needs and support them to do an activity which would be very expensive otherwise. Going away on trips like this allow group members to form closer relationships and get to know each other better. It also improves the mental health and wellbeing of participants and volunteers who run the group by going away on trips like this.
Breakdown;
£500 bus hire per trip x 2 bus trips
TOTAL - £1000
