Millport Town Hall Community Kitchen
2024-09-11 • No comments • • North Coast
The Millport Town Hall charity was formed by the community of the Isle of Cumbrae to improve the welfare of islanders by providing space and activities to address anxiety, stress and social isolation, particularly in our more vulnerable community members. We're transforming our previously derelict Town Hall into a vibrant, self-sustaining Community Hub, Arts & Culture and Heritage/Conservation centre that will deliver social events, self-help groups, creative and performing arts, indoor sports and volunteering opportunities for the whole community.
We're preparing for Millport Town Hall to open to the community in 2025. A key facility will be the kitchen, which reaches across the ground floor with access to all spaces and which will be available for community groups and event organisers to use. We’re seeking funding to support installing a large fridge freezer.
The cost is £1199 - the balance of £199 is coming from local fundraising.
Improvement of access to West Kilbride Glen from B7047
2024-09-10 • No comments • • North Coast
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

Skelmorlie Community Garden..A Garden for Our Village
2024-09-06 • No comments • • North Coast
As a small group..we are creating a garden/space for all to enjoy.
A way of giving back to our community
A year ago we took ownership of a desolate,drab and weed-filled area..a year later we have transformed it into an oasis of calm..so important for mental health. We have a spot full of insect life..all our plants are bee/butterfly/pollinator friendly so important as this will be our village legacy for the next generation of up and coming gardeners.
The environmental benefits are exponential.
The village now has a focal point,a meeting place,somewhere to chill.
Our young people have a safe place to access.
Thanks to last years PB award we have a Wee Library..and a large planter filled with pollinator-friendly plants..both built by Clyde Coast and Cumbrae Men's Shed
Our next wee project is the area at the entrance to the CC..we've already sited a planter full of polinator-friendly plants.
Seating in this area affords views to the hills and also all the play areas too..ideal for parents to watch their kids whilst also allowing them freedom to play.
We would like to purchase two sturdy benches..for the enjoyment of the village of Skelmorlie.
The benches in mind cost £75 pounds each.
They are made locally by a woodcrafter in Dalry.
Total cost would be £150
Improvement to path leading into the Glen from the B7047 at the Old Tractor

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.
