The CAMEO Group
2024-09-12 • No comments • • Three Towns
The group meets every Wednesday, offering a welcoming safe space to bring people together. A space that is positive and supportive, allowing people to have a voice, to share experiences, to heal and to work towards better health and wellbeing. It’s free and open to all adults who find themselves struggling and feeling overwhelmed by life. The group aims to decrease social isolation while raising levels of confidence and engagement. As many of the group members have experienced trauma, addiction and/or bereavement resulting in poor self-esteem and mental health. And found themselves ‘staring at the same four walls’ before discovering the group.
The funding we're applying for would be spent as follows:
- Sustaining the group and promoting the group to the wider community to help more people in the three towns area.
- Staging an ‘Open Day’ style event open to the wider community to remove barriers to accessing the group. Bringing different cultures together to create a more cohesive community.
- Weekly food provision and refreshments costs
- Transportation and packed lunch costs for trips to destinations outside Saltcoats, to create new experiences and new memories, improving mental health

We run a unit at the Ardrossan Parish Church for girls aged 4 to 7. We have 24 girls currently with a large waiting list.
We would love to be able to take the girls to the newmilns ski slope for a trip and purchase new craft materials. It would also allow us to purchase more badges and awards for the girls.
Food & Heat
2024-09-12 • No comments • • Three Towns
If we were to be sussessful with the funding the money would help us offer the community the free meal & hot drink 3 times per week so they are able to come along sit in the heat get a hot meal and a wee chat with friends or just to see some friendly faces in the cafe. We would love to offer this throughtout the day from morning to later afternoon as we know people have different circumstances in life and may not be able to get out early and also we want to encourage parents to come in before the school pick up as we know with the cost of living parents may skip a meal and this way they have had something warm to eat before heading home. Also we encourage anyone coming along to the cafe to charge any devices they may have including mobility scooters to try help them save some of their own electricity. We are here to help with any calls that may need to be made regarding any home issues they have, for exmaple if they have any issues with gas or electric and they are unsure how to call for help or advise.
Cost for running over 3 days per week for 12 weeks
Food cost per week £120
£100 per week for hot drinks

HMS Dasher was a Royal Navy aircraft carrier that blew up on 27 Mar 1943 and the parade weekend is always the closest weekend to the anniversary. Even though it was 80 years ago, we still have family members of the crew attending each year. On Sat 29 Mar, there will be a service at sea on board the CalMac ferry, which will stop over the wrecksite. There will be wreathes laid at the memorial at Brodick ticket office. On Sun 30 Mar, there will be a parade at the sunken garden across the road from St Peters in Chains church, where family members and community groups will have the chance to lay wreathes, flowers and other tributes

Safety Training
2024-08-29 • No comments • • Three Towns
The charity supplies thousands of second hand electical goods to those in need free of charge. This lets us recycle these items and saves them going to landfill.
To make sure that we are providing safe appliances we test every item to compliance standards. Several volunteers have already been trained but most have moved on to positive destinations and the skills need to be replaced. This one-day course covers all the skills and knowledge required to safely test, inspect and maintain portable electrical appliances.
Thank you.
SeaSalt Streets SMOOTHIE SPECTACULAR
2024-09-12 • No comments • • Three Towns
SeaSalt Streets are seeking funding to continue its successful run of events in and around Saltcoats Town Centre. These pop-up events have included a "kerbie" competition, a basketball challenge, a bird box building day and more recently, the Betsy Miller Awareness Day.
These occasions are intended to create a talking point, a feel good factor, a want to get involved, inspiring others to create their own events, thereby starting a Ripple Effect !!!
If successful, SeaSalt Streets intend to use the funding to hire 2 smoothie bikes and a life size interactive cow. The 2 smoothie bikes, 1 adult and 1 child's, each have a built-in blender which, when peddled by the individual, mixes the milk, fruit/syrup of their choice, into a healthy smoothie drink.
The interactive cow has milking teats, which, when "milked" dispenses water giving the milker the opportunity of a lifetime to "milk a cow" A unique, one-off experience which will create a lasting memory to the participants.
Estimated costs :
Smoothie bikes + insurance £350.00 Interactive Milking Cow £185.00 Smoothie Supplies 60lt milk, fruit, syrups, 250 cups £150.00 2 x Operators @ 4 hrs each £180.00 Delivery & set up costs £70.00 Promotional materials £50.00
TOTAL £985.00
The group will use this event as an opportunity to promote the Health and Well-being benefits of eating well, and by introducing regular physical activity, the individual can bring about personal change.
By involving families, SeaSalt Streets, by way of these interactive events, hope to continue to build up community spirit and create positive changes both to to individuals and the wider community.
