We require to widen this particular entry point to the Glen to permit vehicular access for work vehicles to undertake the renovation and renewal of the decrepit and dangerous blaes football pitch. This will involve the removal of bollards and a gate blocking access.  We plan to ensure safe passage way for work persons and the community by trimming overhanging trees. This will also ensure the health of the trees and avoid collision. We require to relocate bins en route to maximise public access and ensure the condition of the Glen is maintained.

The cost of materials, equipment and labour will be £1000

St. Mary's Parent Council actively collaborates with all other centres in Largs Campus to provide activities that engage with our local community.  We have successfully run projects to support intergenerational working as well as developing excellent relationships with families across both primary schools.  Everyone in our local commuity is welcome to participate in the life and activities of St. Mary's Primary School and the Parent Council understands that Christmas can be a very difficult time for an increasing number of people.  Last year, we successfully hosted a Winter Wellbeing Christmas Fair where everyone in the local community was invited to attend.  All attendees enjoyed a free hot meal and drink as well as treats provided by the Parent Council.  The event was incredibly well-attended and a fantastic success, which would not have been possible without the generous donation of £300 from the Locality Participatory Budget.  We have listened closely to feedback from all who attended last year and there is a great deal of interest in inviting local groups who can provide advice, support and befriending opportunities for vulnerable families and individuals locally.  We know that the impact of last year's event was incredibly positive and anecdotal evidence shows that the event was, for some, the highlight of the Christmas period.  As a Parent Council, we have a strong desire to reach as many people as possible in our local community to offer an event with a free hot meal and drink.  We will also provide activities, entertainment, and opportunities to make, maintain, and rekindle links with local support opportunities.  The cost of the food for this event will be £450 and we will provide Christmas Gift Bags for our more vulnerable families and individuals.  These will include a small food treat, alcohol-free mulled wine, a Christmas card( made by our pupils), a hot chocolate pack (made by our pupils), reindeer food (made by pupils), and hand-crocheted wrist warmers (made by pupils and parents).  Our Crochet Club begins soon and through this, we hope to provide ongoing opportunities for intergenerational working where older members of our community pass on their skills to our youngsters who will enjoy spending time and having fun with their older mentors.  The cost of materials to make Christmas Gift Bags is £450.  This brings the total cost of our project to £900.  This expenditure will be the catalyst for generating a wide range of collaborative support opportunities throughout our local community.

We would like to offer a pay forward scheme for all 89 of our members and their children for the local church of the Nazarene located in Largs. The church takes a token £2 for a meal and children go free. We would like to offer a free ticket to all our members some of whom come to us at desperate times . We feel if they can go and try it for free they might return the next week. It is non relligious and welcoming and older people might enjoy the company as well as the food. Largs has a large elderly population most of whom are too proud to come to our larder and if we could get the older people who do come to the larder to tell their friends we might not only provide them with food but company as well. Its all about dignity in food provision.

The proposal is for our volunteer groups to join in clearing the overgrown vegetation and to engage a contractor to prepare the existing unusable path and supply and lay an appropriate appropriate amount of Type 1 aggregate which will prevent further degradation of the surface. We have been quoted a cost of £900 for labour and materials for this work.
