Improving our children and staff's wellbeing outdoors

No comments AW North Coast

We are a third sector Early Years Centre based in West Kilbride with access to a large garden and forest area. Our aim is to get our children outside as much as possible in the nursery day. This has proved to greatly enhance their mental and physical wellbeing but it can mean that we are out in all weathers given the Scottish climate. We are looking to try to make our children and staff as comfortable as possible whilst outside so that passing showers or the colder weather is easier to brave.

Wheel and Walk

Nature Inclusion for Walk and Wheel

No comments Catherine Brannan North Coast

In 2024 our Summer Wheel and Walk club was established for people with poor mobility, encouraging people more outdoors to socialise and engage with community events. This has been a success. We are applying to fund a winter project to continue encouraging people with poor mobility to gather and be more involved with the community. This fund will purchase lunches in establishments that have wheelchair and mobility scooter access, supporting social isolation and financial hardship during winter.

Improvement to path leading into the Glen from the B7047 at the Old Tractor

No comments Friends of Kirkton Hall Glen, West KIlbride North Coast

Known as Gilmour's Path, the pedestrian lane which provided safe access to the Glen away from the vehicular access has fallen into disrepair and is now so boggy and overgrown as to be rendered unusable. The proposal is to clear the overgrown vegetation and to improve the path by laying Type 1 stone making the entrance safer for pedestrians. Friends of Kirkton Hall Glen has the support of the various sports groups using the Glen's facilities and West Kilbride Environmental Group in this proposal.

Social Horticulture for Experts & Dummies (SHED)

1 comment Community Roots North Coast

SHED is a community gardening project based at the Community Roots Garden in Main Street West Kilbride. We have weekly gardening sessions, offering a relaxed space to learn no-dig and permaculture food growing whilst coming together for friendship. The group is as much focussed on mental and physical wellbeing as it is on food security and sustainability. We distribute the food we grow amongst the volunteers and the local Village Larder.
