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 .

We are a 100% voluntary group made up of about 20 people who come off and on with about 10 regular guys. We maintain the woodlands for all to use and enjoy. With conservation and re-wilding in mind we work with that always in mind.

Food & Heat is going to be the topic of our winter campaign for the community. We run the community cafe in the centre which is open 5 days a week 7.30am until 4.30pm. The centre would like to supply hot soup with a roll, or a hot meal & a hot drink 3 times a week to take a wee bit of pressure off in the winter.

The grant seeks funding for belay devices for the Mountain Rescue Team to improve rescue safety and efficiency. This will enhance wellbeing, build community spirit, and support environmental conservation.

We plan to commission an environmental survey of Kerelaw – an essential step towards bringing the site into community ownership within the next year.

We are currently setting up a community shed where people can meet for a chat, work on creative projects, and learn new skills
