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.

We are a girl-guiding unit of 9 girls aged 14-18 who have been dedicated to girl guiding since they were 5 years old. The girls follow a programme of skill-builder badges in themes such as camping, communication and first aid. Our programme of interest badges, skill builders and awards support these young women to try new things, travel the world and develop skills across our six themes. Many of the girls are young leaders for local rainbows and brownie and are working on building their CVs.
