Saltcoats High Flats

High Flats Afternoon Club

2024-09-11  •  No comments  •  High Flats Afternoon Club  •  Three Towns

We would like to apply for funding to take the residents of Saltcoats High Flats on trips and outings throughout the year. As an older community of people with a range of mobility needs, many of us live by ourselves. We can go days without talking to people. The High Flats Afternoon Club brings us together with the common theme of living in the same buidling. 

We would like to be able to book some trips and days out but due to many different mobility needs, such as walking frames, sticks etc, we need accessible transport. Transport is very expensive and if we were to get £800, we could use a varierty of taxis, minibus or small bus hires to take us on some days out. 

£500 for transport costs

£300 for entrance fees, food and drink etc.

£800

Hayocks Tenants and Residents Group (HTAR) - Community Garden Project

2024-09-10  •  No comments  •  Hayocks TARA  •  Three Towns

The HTAR are a group of volunteers who help promote the interests of residents in the area on matters concerning housing, the environment and the social and communication.  We meet up monthly based within Hayocks Community Centre

We are planning revamping our existing garden area at the Hayocks Community Centre, which the HTAR hold the lease for into a safe and welcoming community space. This will include a seating area where hall users, or members of the community can sit and rest or socialise. The space will also include a growing area with raised beds built and installed, where members of the community can come and work together to grow and harvest their own fruit and vegetables. These vegetables can then be taken home by members of the community or be donated to the larder within the community centre or used within the existing cafe within the centre.  Our existing outdoor area has ramped access therefore this would be accessible for all members of the community

This would build on community spirit and help towards peoples health and wellbeing such as social isolation and promote healthier eating. We are an area of high deprivation and this would allow members of the public a free space to meet up with friends with no additional costs.

Costs

Raised Planters - £510

Compost - £200

Garden Tools - £150

Plants and seedlings - £75

Water Butt - £65

Lifelines

2024-09-11  •  1 comment  •  Steven836  •  Three Towns

We've created a Suicide Prevention Information Directory to act as a lifeline for anyone having thoughts of self-harm and/or suicide.  We distribute as many booklets as we can along with posters with a QR Code link to the online version. 

The funding we're applying for would allow the group to:

  • Distribute more booklets and posters across the community
  • Reach more mental health organisations, local businesses, and education centres
  • Reach more people living with poor mental health and wellbeing due to isolation, bereavement, addiction, food insecurity, and the cost of living crisis
  • Reach those who have fallen through the net, the hardest to reach, the most marginalised
  • Build community spirit by attending mental health and public networking events and coordinating training and holding events

The funding we're applying for would be spent as follows:

  • Poster Production costs (printing and laminating)
  • Travel, Event and Training costs
  • Promotional Materials for networking and public events including:
  • Branded Pens
  • Branded Keyrings/Trolley Tokens
  • Branded Tops
  • Branded Banner
