"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 a rainbows group that has 22 girls and 11 on our waiting list. We would love to take the girls to the cinema to see Moana 2. We would also like to buy them badges and supplies to continue delivering the Girlguiding programme

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 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 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 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.

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.
