Giving people choice in our food larder and increasing their dignity
No comments North Coast
We are Largs food hub and have recently started on Nourish Scotland's Dignity Project. We believe giving people as much choice as possible is one way to provide dignity in food provision. We would like to provide a pay forward scheme for our local church of the Nazarene which provides meals for £2 and children are free. If we provide a free ticket and encourage them to go and perhaps by going ourselves this might show that it is ok and take away the stigma of excepting charity.
Nature Inclusion for Walk and Wheel
No comments 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 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.
