St Matthew's Academy Breakfast Club
2024-09-09 • 2 comments • • Three Towns
Our project would help ensure a child has a healthy meal before attending a full school day. This will help pupils to focus and improve their learning. Also with the cost of living crisis, pupils may not be able to afford a healthy meal, so this project would allow us to provide this for them. A grant of £1000 would allow us to budget for provision of cereal bars, fruit and juice. Breakfast club will also be closely monitored by staff and pupil volunteers.

Youth Voice Engagement Event (Pupil Councils)
2024-09-10 • No comments • • Three Towns
As a group that has representation across most of our secondary schools we have consulted with other young people to ask them about their pupil councils and youth voice groups. Through doing this it was clear there was no consistency or a minimum standard of what they do or the support they get to ensure that young peoples voices are heard across the school community. We feel as a group there needs to be guidance to support school staff and the young people. It shouldn’t come down to what school you go to determine how involved you are allowed to be in decisions that affect you.
We would use this money to bring together groups of young people to support us in writing a Pupil Council Toolkit and Charter that schools would sign up for. This would involve around 50 young people from across North Ayrshire. This would make sure schools have a minimum standard for their pupil councils in schools. With young peoples rights now part of Scots Law, it is more important than ever that Article 12 (young people having a voice and having platforms to use it) is put into action across our local authority.
By bringing these young people together we would write, design and create a Pupil Council Toolkit that would launch in partnership with schools, to support running effective pupil councils. The Toolkit would have information, guidelines and templates for these groups to run effectively and allow young people a ‘seat at the table’ to influence decisions that affect them.
The event will take place at Ardeer community centre.
Costs
Catering Costs – Snacks and refreshments for the day - £250
Money towards graphic artist – Working with a graphic artist who will sketch in real time, simple graphics of the groupsdiscussions as they happen. We can watch the visuals unfold and get to see the big picture develop as the conversation grows giving us actionable results from the event. £920
The remainder of the event costs would be covered from a small pot of funding we have secured for the Pupil Council Toolkit.

Balance and Bliss CIC: Enhancing Community Wellbeing
We are applying for £1000 to raise awareness of how holistic therapies can improve mental health and wellbeing, particularly for vulnerable groups. Our goal is to break barriers to accessing support and foster a supportive community.
Funding Breakdown:
- Hall Hire - £250: To provide a welcoming space for our sessions.
- Drinks and Snacks - £150: To nurture conversation and connection during sessions.
- Resources/Crafts - £600: For materials needed in our activities and therapies.
Mini Taster Treatments: To introduce therapies like reflexology, Reiki, EFT, and sound baths.
Our holistic, trauma-informed approach includes therapies such as reflexology, Reiki, EFT, sound healing, and more. We aim to improve physical and mental wellbeing, address social isolation, and promote healthy lifestyles. By focusing on vulnerable groups, we build confidence, skills, and resilience, fostering positive personal and community change. We believe that a community that supports each other thrives.
This funding will help us provide 10 sessions/groups, ensuring each is well-supported with a welcoming space, refreshments to foster conversation, and necessary materials for activities and therapies. This will enable us to improve mental health and wellbeing, particularly for vulnerable groups, and bring the community together.
St John's Primary School Pupil Council PB Bid

We wish to continue with the success of our lunchtime & afterschool clubs. The funds would allow us to pay for transport to take the pupils attending those clubs to upcoming tournaments and events that are organised by North Ayrshire Active Schools. We would add to our existing sports kit to allow the children to be identified and part of the team. We have Young Sports Leaders who have responsibility for promoting physical activity in the playground. Primary 7 undertook training in playground games and have requested playground equipment to fully engage all the children in the school. Some of the fund would be used to purchase this equipment. We will work closely with North Ayrshire’s Active Schools Coordinator to successfully deliver lunchtime clubs, which will run each day for the rest of the academic year. Physical and mental health and wellbeing is always at the heart of St. Johns PS agenda. Afterschool sports clubs are an excellent way to engage children in physical activity and improve their health and mental well-being. Exposing children to sports and physical activity in an afterschool environment encourages them to explore the sport in the community and strengthens the pathways into the sport. It is hoped that the afterschool clubs will encourage more children to participate in sport and thus increase their physical fitness. Due to the cost-of-living crisis, after school clubs are the only opportunity that some children have to participate in sports. Through this fund we wish to improve aspects of fitness and develop personal and interpersonal skills and attributes. We want to enable learners to develop the concepts and skills necessary for participation in a wide range of physical activity, sport and outdoor learning and enhance their physical wellbeing in preparation for leading a fulfilling, active and healthy lifestyle. The school’s Young Sports Leaders (Primary 6 and 7 pupils) are involved in this application through providing their opinion on the after-school clubs they wish to have established. The have selected the equipment needed for their lunchtime ‘Playground Games’ club.
Sports equipment - £500
School sports kit - £200
Buses to sporting events - £300
TOTAL - £1000

We are looking to get the kids now fully equipped with a training kit and bag etc. We have a good fundraising team but there is only one think we can fundraise for at a time. We have recently just done "sponsor a player" for their new home kit. It's approx £30 per player for their kit and then extra for their boot bag etc. Our team are excellent team sports and they would be over the moon with this extra bit of kit.

Our team would love to take part in several festivals across the summer break, allowing the children to experience tournament football and being awarded medals. These cost £90 per team, so with the number we have we can often register 2 teams for 7 aside games. For 3 tournaments this would cost £540.
The fee to hire the all weather floodlit pitches costs £85 per week now, so to keep the weekly costs the same for parents and not having to increase fees, the remaining £460 would go towards pitch hire and spare equipment such as bibs, cones, balls.
Ardrossan Youth Association (projects and activities for young people)
2024-09-17 • No comments • • Three Towns
The Ardrossan Youth Association is managed by young people, looking to provide support, tackle isolation and promote positive mental health. This has been acheived in the past by providing trips with Ocean youth trust, attending youth festivals and through multiple groups and activities. The association also run different groups like Art group, Youth groups, Duke of Edinburgh, Cooking activities, and hold weekly committee and planning meetings.
The association is looking to start cooking classes which will look at how to cook on a budget. They are looking for funding to purchase an oven as the one they have at present is broke.
They are also looking to purchase food and and drink for the family fun day next year. along with other activities happening inside and outside the centre, there will be a barbeque.
The association is looking to purchase stationary to help with committee meetings and planning.
Lastly, the association is looking to purchase a new Karaoke system. this is due to the high demand in the centre from all young people.

Community Campus 5K Funday
2024-09-16 • No comments • • Three Towns
We are looking to secure funding so that we can create a whole schools/campus event, that will have something for everyone from Winton EYC right through to our senior in Ardrossan Academy. This is approximately 1200 pupils. We hope to have a colour dash fun run, where participants can complete up to 5k (depending on their age and ability), this event would welcome all pupils and their families to participate. The approximate cost per person is £3.25, so we would need to do a lot of fundraising for the event and potentially charge a small entry/participatory fee, however if we secure enough funding the costs to families will be minimal. The event would be held as day event with various potted sports, stalls, outdoor games and the run taking place at intervals, to allow everyone the opportunity to participate. The families willl be able to have a picnic in the park type day with lots going on around them. A basic park run and few stalls were put together in a few weeks last year towards the end of term and the feedback from pupils, familiy members and people in the community around the park was amazing. It was great to see everyone getting involved and enjoying the day as a community. Some of the children had never participated in a park run and loved the idea of making it a bit more exciting which is not always cost effective for families, hence the reason we will try to keep costs affordable for all.
