Saltcoats Christmas Carnival
No comments Three Towns
The Saltcoats Christmas Carnival was started many years ago to provide Christmas lights in Saltcoats – this evolved over the years and has become a full carnival. This provides a much needed free day out for families in the local community, when everything else related to Christmas is so expensive this event gives some relief from that.
Ardrossan Indoor Bowls Community Hub (AIBCH)
No comments Three Towns
Ardrossan Indoor Bowls Club has a large function suite which, outwith funeral teas, is unused during the day since the closure of its Cafe. It does offer a Community Corner where there are facilities to exchange books, use games such as cards, dominoes and board games and some craft materials. We would love to expand this and also offer it to be used as a Warm Hub, during the Winter. People from the 3 Towns could call in and be provided with hot drinks and soup and sandwiches.

HMS Dasher Memorial / Remembrance Day 2025
No comments Three Towns
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.

Hayocks Tenants and Residents Group (HTAR) - Community Garden Project
No comments Three Towns
We are looking to revamp our outdoor garden area to include seating for the local community to use. We are also looking to purchase raised beds to grown our own fruit and vegetables which would then be donated to local families and the community larder within Hayocks Community Centre
Food & Heat
No comments Three Towns
Food & Heat is going to be the topic of our winter campaign for the community. We run the community cafe in the centre which is open 5 days a week 7.30am until 4.30pm. The centre would like to supply hot soup with a roll, or a hot meal & a hot drink 3 times a week to take a wee bit of pressure off in the winter.

IMC Community Fridge first started in 2021 to provide food the local community who were most in need. Based in Springvale Street, Saltcoats we are in the heart of the local community where many are facing food insecurities for a number of reasons. Dignified access to nutritious food is our main priority and meeting the needs of the local community.
