Argyle Community Shop operates on a Wednesday from 11am - 4pm supporting local households with access to food and a holistic range of supports to manage the cost of living crisis. We are open to all residents of Saltcoats who can provide proof of address and give a warm, friendly welcome to everyone who comes along.

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.

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 .

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.

We plan to plant several hundred Bluebell bulbs in the woodland areas of Holm Plantation in Ardrossan, and plant an additional 20 apple trees in the community orchard we have been planting at the site over the past two years.
