The Parent Council wish to help support the young people with gaining the best experience with all aspects performance of music and drama events within the school but especially the musical shows. The funding we are applying for is to allow the purchase of technical equipment which will enhance the experience of the working within music industry and also be used for other events in Music and Drama throughout the year. 

We are also looking to fund some of the more sustainable aspects of the stage makeup to allow our young people to further develop their skills which they have developed already within school in our Lovilious class.

Stage Lighting set with 8 Pre-Wired LED Pars, DMX Controller and Stands- £900

Make-up brush sets- £100

We are hoping to arrange sports coaching sessions for our young people at The Portal in Irvine. We are also hoping to arrange a visit to Bouncestation - a local play and activity centre. We think it is really important to promote positive physical and mental health in young people who are struggling to cope with the challenges that Tourette's bring. Tourette Syndrome is a complex neurological condition. Many of our young people suffer from social isolation; difficulties at school; judgement from others; dealing with regular health-related appointments; and various other challenges. Our group, based in Irvine, is a safe space for young people - and their families - to meet in person with other young people living with Tourette's. We offer arts and crafts, sporting games and board games at our regular meetings. The aim of our group is to have everyone feel included, supported and understood. 

We are hoping to put on six sports sessions throughout the year in addition to our support meetings at Bridgegate in Irvine. 

Cost to hire out Portal space and a sports coach, plus provide a healthy drink and snack to each participant - £115 per session. 

Cost to take 20 participants to Bouncestation - £310

Total cost: £115 x 6 = £690

                               +    £310

                                                 =              £1000
