We are currently setting up a community shed where people can meet for a chat, work on creative projects, and learn new skills

We are a group of 13 individuals aged 50+ who meet on a weekly basis in Kilwinning library with an aim to complete the discovery award programme through taking part in personal and group challenges.

Over 24.7% or over 5000 children and young people live in poverty in North Ayrshire with 29% of children going to bed hungry, with many relying on school meals to get through the day. We wish to run fun football sessions for children and young people regardless of ability with the focus on fun and providing food towards a healthy diet, After the football session run by qualified coaches is finished children can come into our 50's themed diner and have a hot evening meal including fruit juice.

Our project aims to organize a Christmas celebration for the Ukrainian community in North Ayrshire, welcoming both adults and children from various cultural backgrounds, including local Scottish residents. This event will serve as a platform for cultural exchange, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of diverse traditions. By bringing people together to share in the joy of the season, we hope to promote unity and strengthen community bonds.

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.
