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.

Our charity was set up to provide free transport to the community who were diagnosed with cancer and requires treatment in any hospital within Ayrshire, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Once the patient has had treatment we will continue to support them with transport for non cancer related treatment. We have around 40 volunteer staff within drivers and office staff. None of our staff are paid other than our drivers who are paid mileage expenses. For us to provide this sevice the charity must raise over £65000 per year. All our drivers are paid mileage at 50p per mile which is calculated at 45p per mile plus an additional 5p per mile for extra passengers.
The £1000 would breadown as 14 runs to Glasgow at 71 miles @ 50p per mile = £1000. This would allow us to take a maximum of 42 patients to appointments.
The £1000 to be used for local hospitals (Ayr, Crosshouse and Ayrshire Central) could breakdown as 33 runs to local hospitals @ 30 miles @ 50p per mile = £1000. This would allow us to take a maximum of 99 patients to appointments.

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
Castlepark Primary School Parent Council - After School Family Hub
2024-09-13 • No comments • • Irvine
Our aim is to ensure every family in our school community has a safe place to meet for support and to provide a healthy meal or snack to combat the cost of living crisis.
We aim to promote health and wellbeing by running after school workshops for our families. The workshops will run over a 6 month period from January 2025 - June 2025. Each workshop will run for around an hour and a healthy snack or light meal will also be provided.
We have collated responses from our parents and children which highlighted the following:
- parents want to feel more included in the school environment and with their child's learning
- children would like their parent/caregiver to have more involvement with their learning and for the learning to be ‘more fun’
- families would like to meet for support (from each other and from professionals)
- families would like to be more active
- children would like to learn how to cook healthy meals
- parents and children expressed an interest in attending a regular after-school club
We feel our plan for an after-school family hub would help meet the needs highlighted, we would be able to support family learning in a fun and engaging way. As well as providing a healthy snack or light meal, to help families during the current cost of living crisis.
We would work with the local community builder, the NHS, Local charities and Parent Council Volunteers to ensure a wide range of needs are met. Each ‘workshop’ at our new Family hub would have a theme, such as:
- Homework Help/ Supported Study (supporting family learning)
- Health and Wellbeing (promoting physical and mental wellbeing)
- Equality and Equity (outside agency delivering a workshop on this, with fun family games)
- Health and Fitness (physical games and activities for all ages and abilities)
- Cooking Healthy meals on a budget (community cook-a-long)
- Caring for our Community (community litter picks)
We would use the money secured from the bid to get our ‘Family Hub’ up and running. Our predicted expenditure is £40 to buy equipment such as plates, cutlery and cooking utensils. Then a further £40 per session (for 24 sessions) to purchase the ingredients for the included healthy meal/snack.
Bourtreehill and Broomlands Community Association (BABCA)
2024-09-10 • No comments • • Official position 1 • Irvine
Bourtreehill and Broomlands Community Association (BABCA) would like to get some new decorations for Santa's home at their annual Christmas Fayre the Grotto needs a makeover and this year they would like to make it a free grotto so every boy and girl who has been good gets a gift if they visit Santa at the Christmas Fayre. Santa loves to see all the children and this event is always popular at the Christmas Fayre.
Holding the Christmas Fayre yearly brings the community together the fayre attracts a lot of local craft people as well as it brings all the organisations who use the centre on a weekly basis like So Lovely, Veterans, Brownies, pipe band, Children's First etc an opportunity to fund raise for their individual groups it brings them all together to create a positive change in their local community. The Christmas Fayre also allows BABCA the opportunity to enlist new committee members and volunteers for the food larder (Farm Basket) whilst engaging with the general public.
BABCA would also like to organise a Valentine sixties and seventies night held in the Towerlands Community Centre with a live band to encourage people into Towerlands Community Centre to see what is happening in the centre. The Adults would have the option to come in fancy dress. A wee trip back in time with hits from musical artists from the sixties and seventies like the Beatles, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Diana Ross to name a few.
We also want to use this opportunity to see what community events the community want to see happen in the centre throughout the year. Holding a yearly social engagement helps us as a committee gauge what the community want to see happening in the centre when we organise events.
The criteria we hit are health and wellbeing that address social isolation, social wellbeing of people with learning disabilities, build confidence as people from the Community farm basket shop attend social events it brings people from an intergenerational groups together with social events such as the Christmas Fayre and social event.
We also hit building Community Spirit as the projects and both events will bring people from all walks of life together, old and young. BABCA are all volunteers on the committee who run the centre and look forward to holding events for the community. We would like the following if possible
Entertainment £400
Food pies times 80 = £80
Hall Hire - £115.50
Santa's decorations £50
presents for Santa -£300
Total funding £945.50
