Ardrossan Indoor Bowls Club has a large function suite which, outwith funeral teas, is unused during the day since the closure of its Cafe. It does offer a Community Corner where there are facilities to exchange books, use games such as cards, dominoes and board games and some craft materials. We would love to expand this and also offer it to be used as a Warm Hub, during the Winter. People from the 3 Towns could call in and be provided with hot drinks and soup and sandwiches.

We are a small group of 10 adult learners embarking on a creative journey with a local artist as a tutor, this is a free group and we meet in Cranberry Moss Community centre once a week on a Friday morning. We have been running for 11 weeks now and thoroughly enjoy this group, it is such a therapeutic release from the We are currently relying on left over art supplies from other groups that have been running, we would love to be able to have our own supplies as this would only aid our learning.

It’s time to bring back Citizen of the Year to the great volunteers that work tirelessly throughout the year in Beith. Citizen of the Year is a time to boost and bring the community together to celebrate and give recognition to not only Citizen of the Year but to also recognise The Organisation of the Year and Young Persons Contribution of the Year. It is a vehicle to attract new volunteers to the community through promoting the benefits of volunteering. The funding will help to cover the costs

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.

We support 35 people on a weekly basis from age 65-90 years old. We provide a safe space for the elderly to socialise. We do different activities that include bingo, quizzes, entertainment, bus trips and theatre outings

Working alongside a local artist we will run two groups in the Irvine area focusing on improving mental health and wellbeing through the use of creative arts. One group (5 sessions) will be for Kinship carers and 5 Kinship family sessions.

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

Please enable us to provide a block of swimming lessons to our P4 and P5 class at Whiting Bay Primary School. Help open up this vital life skill to all children and give them the opportunity to improve their confidence and physical well-being.
