3TG are dedicated to providing growing spaces, be it cultivation of fruit & vegetables, social interaction and community involvement. Nurturing people to live a healthier more sustainable lifestyles.

We are a group of residents within a Sheltered Housing complex who hope to provide social events within the complex to bring people together and help prevent social isolation. 

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.

We are a group of retirees aging from 60-80+. Yoga keeps us physically + mentally fit. We meet for coffee /outings to keep us socially active and alleviate loneliness and isolation. Modern technology means we need a laptop.

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.

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 .

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.

We cater for over 50 community members (45 active members) providing social interaction through Bingo, Quizzes, Lunches, Dances, Christmas Dinners and Trips.
