Shutter Bugs are a group of enthusiastic photographers, based in the Three Towns. Coming together to share knowledge and experience of photography and the art of taking pictures. Open to people of all abilities. Phone users to digital camera users all are welcome

We cater for over 50 community members (45 active members) providing social interaction through Bingo, Quizzes, Lunches, Dances, Christmas Dinners and Trips.

We are a toddler group for families with children under three years. We provide parent and child sessions to promote friendships and a sharing of experiences among adults, and activities to promote the wellbeing of babies and children. The group members have the opportunity to engage in activities that might not be available to them. The group is open three mornings per week, we use a large hall for active play and snack, small hall for activities and an early years room for baby activities .

The project supports people living with dementia to enjoy 1-2-1 befriending, provide companionship within their home, or attend one of our dementia wellbeing cafes.

We are a group of residents within a Sheltered Housing complex who hope to provide social events within the complex to bring people together and help prevent social isolation. 

2024 is our centenary year. Each year, we organise a number of parades such as Remembrance Day in Saltcoats and Stevenston. We also organise the annual HMS Dasher Memorial weekend at the end of March. These parades are not funded directly by North Ayrshire Council. Instead, it is up to our branch to arrange the funding for our parades. This application will go some way to ensure that our parades in Nov 2024 and Mar 2025 can go ahead.

The unit would like to attend the National Outdoor Centre at Lochgoilhead to take part in adventurous activities that will improve their leadership and team building skills as well as taking part in activities that we cannot supply for them.

The number of participants and young people has grown this year and there is an urgent requirement for more microphones so that everyone can be heard.

3TFM plays hundreds of pieces of music to the 3 Towns and beyond every day. A new laptop to store our music on would mean a broader range of tunes and more seamless presentation .
