We would like to host 2 networking events to raise the profile of Irvine Community Council and other voluntary organisations of Irvine.

Formed in 2022 and constituted earlier this year, we are a group of volunteers who survey the core path network in Eglinton Country Park and identify problem areas affecting accessibility. We primarily improve paths where there is flooding and cut back branches and bushes along borders to help make paths accessible for all park users.

We are looking for funding to provide our annual Christmas lunch for the senior citizens of the villages of Kilmory and Kildonan. For many of our senior citizens it is a chance to link up with old friends and neighbours and to meet many of the new people to the villages. We provide an excellent Christmas lunch with a gift from Santa an three course lunch and an afternoon of entertainment . Free transport is also provided. This annual event promotes positive mental health and wellbeing.

We are a toddler group for families with children under three years. We provide parent and child sessions to promote friendships and a sharing of experiences among adults, and activities to promote the wellbeing of babies and children. The group members have the opportunity to engage in activities that might not be available to them. The group is open three mornings per week, we use a large hall for active play and snack, small hall for activities and an early years room for baby activities .

Castlepark Primary Parent Council are planning to run an after-school 'Family Hub'. We will run workshops with different themes each week, including ‘help with homework’ and ‘family fun’. A healthy meal or snack will also be provided. Our aim is to support family learning, engage with the local community and promote health and wellbeing. This will be free of charge to those who attend.
