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.

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

We are newly elected House Captains of Mayfield Primary School working with Mayfield Parent Council. We would like some help from PB locality funding to help us create a wellbeing area within our school so we can use the space at lunch time and afterschool. This will include picnic benches, planters and 2 basketball stands as we want to start a lunch time and afterschool activity club.

"The Stevenston North Community Association's goal is to host events that promote social interaction and benefit local residents. We plan to provide a Christmas lunch with all the trimmings and entertainment for local people 50+   Additionally, we will host a Free Santa Event with free food and entertainment for local kids. Something for everyone :-) "Our objective is to build community interaction and offer support through memorable festive events."

We are residents of Saltcoats High Flats and meet on a weekly basis. We are an older community of people with a varying mobility needs and general abilities. Many of us live by ourselves. We created our afternoon club to foster community spirit, reduce isolation and help each other out. We would like to apply for funding to help with days out.

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 .
