High Flats Afternoon Club
2024-09-11 • No comments • • 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.
The Saltcoats Men's Group
2024-09-12 • No comments • • Three Towns
The group is about being supportive and encouraging to each other. Building camaraderie and helping participants to reconnect with others and themselves.
- Reducing loneliness and isolation
- Reducing low mood and depression
- Increasing a sense of purpose, community and belonging
- Increasing a sense of routine, structure and self-worth
- Promoting health and wellbeing - time together and a safe and trusting space to open up to peers
- Providing peer support for mental health - checking in with each other - "anyone struggling today?"
The funding we're applying for would be spent as follows:
- Cost of weekly room hire for a year (£350)
- Cost of weekly refreshments/food provision per group – teas, coffees, juice and fruit
- Cost of additional monthly or quarterly healthy activities and travel out with the community centre (e.g archery, bowling)
- Cost of promoting the group and recruiting more group participants - to reach more men in the community who have poor mental health
Better, safer storage for our music library.

3TFM was launched in 2008 to provide a local health and wellbeing and music radio offering to the people of the 3 Towns. It broadcasts on 103.1FM to the local area, and to the rest of the world on the Radio Garden app. As well as broadcasting every day, the station offers training in radio presentation and production to local young people. Our music library is stored on a laptop. Our current laptop is slow and outdated. £500 would allow us to purchase a new laptop which would offer faster, more secure storage for our library. It would also allow us to store more tunes, broadening the range of music that we play to our listeners.
More information about the station can be found at www.3tfm.org.uk/about
