Empowering Girls Through Rugby
2024-09-13 • No comments • • Irvine
This initiative promotes gender equality by encouraging participation and boosting confidence. The U14s Girls Team, which currently has 7 regular players, which has doubled since August 2023 and they are currently using the Irvine Ladies’ old kit designed for men, not tailored for female players. By providing gender-specific rugby kits, we aim to ensure the girls feel comfortable and better prepared, enhancing their performance and overall experience on the field. Through our attached development plan, we aim to increase the number of girls playing over the next few years. Introducing a dedicated kit will boost visibility, encourage participation, and reinforce our commitment to gender equality in sports, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment that empowers female players to thrive.
The proposed costs are for 12 of each:
Female fitted shorts £200
Female fitted rugby shirts £800

Tourette Scotland - West of Scotland Support Group
2024-09-12 • 3 comments • • Irvine
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
