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.
Pathway into Music
2024-09-10 • No comments • • Irvine
In conjunction with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) and North Ayrshire Council Music Services, Music@Wellwood would organise a Vocal Masterclass with staff from the RCS who can provide guidance, technical advice and possible progression pathways into music for the young people taking part which may include encouragement to join local choirs.
Opportunities such as this have proven to strengthen access to music within North Ayrshire with young musicians supporting community groups and continuing to work within the community and schools promoting music as a career path and as an important educational tool which can continue to be a lifetime benefit.
In addition to an afternoon Masterclass in the Wellwood Burns Centre & Museum, the young people would be invited to attend an evening performance in Wellwood.
Provision of the afternoon Masterclass would cost £350. Attendance of 10 young people (approx. number) at the evening performance in Wellwood would be £100.
Afternoon refreshments for the young people attending the afternoon Masterclass £25. Any costs associated with the use of the Wellwood Burns Centre & Music would be met by Music@Wellwood.
Irvine Vineburgh Boxing Club

We would like funding to contribute towards the costs of running the club which helps young people and adults alike. For younger members, it takes them off the streets, teaches them how to look after their physcial and mental wellbeing. It also teaches them discipline and how to conduct themselves in the community.
The club is open Monday to Friday and has a membership fee of £4 per session or £10 to attend 5 nights in one week. We would like to keep this cost as low as possible for families so it's accessible to young people, so by getting this funding will help us subsidise the costs.
Taking part in the club helps improve members health and wellbeing through exercise and building relationships between members. The funding will also help towards the cost of living crisis for members as it will reduce the costs of taking part in this activity which is invaluable to members of the Vineburgh and Redburn neighbourhoods.
Ring hire - £360 Insurance - £640

Our goal is to continue providing community lunches and providing catering services, working in partnership with other local groups and bringing all members of our local community together regularly with a focus on alleviating poverty, reducing social isolation and enhancing mental health and well-being.
Our community group offers free lunches,or takes small donations, to all residents within Irvine, many of whom are affected by poverty, poor mental health, and social isolation and these lunches provide a vital lifeline, offering not only nourishment but also a sense of belonging and connection. These meals foster social interaction, breaking the cycle of isolation and helping improve their mental well-being.
In addition to the lunches, having a trained chef as a volunteer the group now offers an external catering service to partner organisations at cost which generates income, enhancing the sustainability of the group and allowing the group to continue supporting the community. Volunteers who help run the lunches and catering service will receive essential training in areas such as REHIS (food safety), hospitality, barista skills, first aid, and customer service. These skills not only equip volunteers to support the efforts but also enhance their employability and confidence, empowering them to make a meaningful difference in their community and benefiting them in other areas of their lives.
In order to achieve this the money provided would help with running costs for the lunches and provide external training for volunteers.
Breakdown:
Running Costs, including food and caretakers costs £500.00
Training and admin costs £500.00
Total applied for £1000.00
