IRVINE YOUTH LEGACY CENTRE
2024-09-11 • No comments • • Irvine
We have previously been lucky enough to secure Youth PB in 23/24 which allowed us to provide free bite to eat during each group for 10 months as this is something that the young people attending the centre where often asking for. Being able to provide young people with a free bite to eat and drink has allowed us to help relive the cost of living crisis from young people and their families. Which is why we would like to be able to continue having this as part of our programme. As well as our free snacks at the youth groups, the centre also hosts “Food chat and chill” on a Sunday evening which is one of our most popular groups this provides young people with a free hot meal. Between the snacks at through the week and food chat and chill the centre has been able to provide over 150 young people with a free meal in the last 10 months. We would like to be able to continue our choice of tuckshop sweets for young people to choose one per night and a range of juice for young people to access. We would also like to stock a range of noodles for young people to have when they are visiting.
water/diluting juice - £200
tuckshop snacks and crisps - £300
noodles/bread/poptarts - £500

- The current hall cost is £88 a year
- End-of-year badge cost per girl £20
- Craft budget £150
We would also like to seek funding to organise a camping trip for the girls. Due to the small nature of the group, we have more difficulty in finding funding opportunities to arrange an end-of-year trip. The cost per girl would be £50, this would be a total cost of £600 to stay at the Blair activity centre with 3 leaders. This is the minimum cost as we would need funding for food £150, resources £200 and badges £30.
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
