Choose Kilwinning wish to apply for PB funding to help meet the cost of testing and installing our Christmas Lights for our Christmas Lights Switch On, a day long community event which culminates in lighting up our Main Street.

We support 35 people on a weekly basis from age 65-90 years old. We provide a safe space for the elderly to socialise. We do different activities that include bingo, quizzes, entertainment, bus trips and theatre outings

This year as a local community centre we would like to offer families an opportunity to have breakfast with Santa free of charge to help in times of the cost of living crisis. We live in an area identified as being of multiple deprivation and some of the children and young people in our area have limited financial resources. We would love to build community spirit by offering a breakfast with Santa for free.

A Christmas Social event to bring all of our groups together, a bingo machine, books and markers so that we can fundraise throughout the year.

Kilwinning Litter Pickers operate across Kilwinning carrying out community litter picking as individuals and working with community partners like Kilwinnibg Sports club, kilwinning beavers, scouts and local schools. The grant is to restock with more litter pickers for community clean ups and loaning to individuals to adopt an area.
