Kilwinning Rangers 2014

2024-09-12  •  No comments  •  Kilwinning Rangers 2014  •  Kilwinning

Kilwinning Rangers 2014 are applying for funding of £1000 to help the team reach their target of buying new balls, cones and bibs, training pack for each player and to play in a youth festival in a different area.  

A successful application would support the team to reach these goals and help the coaches improve the experience and level of training that is taking place currently. The funding would also support the families by lightening the financial burden and allowing all players to have their own training packs so everyone is wearing the same and feel part of the team. 

The £1000 funding would be used to help the team secure the following:

  • New balls/training equipment so there are enough balls for each player when doing drills in training and different equipment to aid in different training exercises and warm up drills - £10 per ball x 35 = £350 - Cones and bibs - £40  total £390
  • Trip to football festival - We would love to give our players the opportunity to experience playing in different football festivals all over the country but due to funding this can be difficult as we have 30 players which make up 3 team playing 7 a side currently.  Estimated cost: 3 teams entered into festival £100 per team per festival = £300 total for one festival.  
  • Training packs ( shorts, top, socks, ½ zip, rain jacket) for each player so everyone has the same kit to wear on Mondays and Thursday for training and means that the football kits would only be worn on match days. All players would also be ready for all weather playing. Estimated cost £61 per player x 35 = £2,135

We would be looking for the additional funds to meet our goals to be provided by the parents/guardians, hence how important this fund could be to the team and families during this cost of living crisis to ensure that all players have the same kit and nobody is left behind.

Dance Depot Lyrical Sqaud

Dance Depot Lyrical Squad - DDLS

2024-09-10  •  No comments  •  Caroline  •  Kilwinning

The Dance Depot Lyrical Squad is part of Tracy Finlay’s Dance Depot, a welcoming and inclusive dance school in Kilwinning that provides local children aged 5-18 the chance to explore dance in a fun, friendly, and affordable environment. The school’s focus is on making dance accessible to everyone, and the competition team offers an opportunity for those who want to take their dancing further to experience the excitement and discipline of performing at a competitive level.

Although the Dance Depot is primarily a recreational school, the DDLS competition team competes in national competitions, with over 35 local dancers proudly representing Ayrshire and Scotland. One of the key events is the Blackpool Winter Gardens competition in March 2025, where the dancers showcase the results of their dedication and hard work from the season. This experience is a highlight for the dancers, allowing them to perform on a prestigious stage and enjoy the thrill of competition.

However, participating in these competitions involves significant costs, including entry fees, costumes, and travel. The Dance Depot is committed to keeping these opportunities accessible for all its dancers, regardless of financial background, by covering costs like the £80 entry fee per dancer for Blackpool through fundraising and community support.

The Youth PB grant would go directly towards these entry fees, ensuring that no dancer misses out due to financial constraints. The aim is to keep the competitive experience open to everyone, allowing all dancers in our community to build confidence, develop teamwork, and gain valuable life skills through dance.

By supporting The Dance Depot Lyrical Squad, the Youth PB grant will massively contribute to help make these experiences possible, empowering young people to grow and thrive in a supportive environment. The Dance Depot’s commitment to accessibility and inclusivity ensures that every dancer has the chance to shine, build lifelong memories, and enrich their community through the joy of dance.
