Our football team plays a crucial role in promoting health, wellbeing and social inclusion and ensures the boys have a focus which supports them to make positive decisions. We promote healthy choices as a team and as a result of this many of the boys have joined the gym and attend regularly to keep improving their fitness levels and socialise with one another. Being a part of our team has helped reduce social barriers for these boys and ensure they have a sense of belonging.

The Fullarton and Harbourside communities both sit in the top SIMD areas in North Ayrshire. Lack of resources and access to services over the years, has resulted in lower incomes, poorer health and lower attainment skills. Fullarton Hub provides a range of activities for children and young people throughout the year but the young people have identified a gap in provision, especially over the winter months.

Irvine Royal Academy Parent Council believe that mental health and well-being should be a main focus for all young people of Irvine Royal Academy. With Youth PB Funding, we aim to promote the mental health and well-being of our young people through the development of a "safe space", and support for pupils to receive training to become Mental Health Ambassadors and MVP Mentors, for them to become a support for all pupils in the school.
