Irvine Royal Academy Parent Council - Mental Health Matters
2024-09-07 • No comments • • Irvine
We wish to provide resources for pupil Mental Health Ambassadors (S5 and 6 pupils) to help them develop a safe space in the school where all young people can access support for their mental health. All Mental Health Ambassadors will receive training - the Parent Council will use Youth PB Funding to cover travel expenses and certificates/badges. Badges will ensure all Mental Health Ambassadors are easily identifiable to all young people in the school to approach if they want support.
- Resources for safe space eg. posters, beanbags, fidget toys - £300
- Travel expenses/badges/certificates - £200
In addition, we wish to increase awareness and challenge attitudes, beliefs and cultural norms that underpin gender-based violence, through the promotion of the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) programme. This programme, aimed at S5 and 6 pupils, addresses physical violence, name-calling, sexting, coercive and controlling behaviour and harassment, which all have an impact on young people's mental health. The MVP programme supports young people to positively influence the attitudes and behaviours of their peers. Pupils will receive training which will then allow them to become MVP mentors to deliver programmes to Primary 7 pupils through to S3 pupils, with a focus on encouraging young people to become active bystanders, by challenging and reporting gender-based violence. The Parent Council will use Youth PB Funding to cover training travel expenses, and certificates/badges. The 16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence Campaign, beginning 25th November, will be promoted by MVP mentors in the school through planned events (still to be decided) which the Parent Council hope to fund through Youth PB Funding.
- Travel expenses/badges/certificates - £200
- Cost of snacks for pupils involved in the 16 Days Of Action - £100
- Planned events run by MVP Mentors - £200

We have had a very successful year with delivering weekly training to approximately 25 children.

We need equipment to allow us to particpate and we are looking for funding for helmets. These are priced at £65 each and we would require 10 of these.
Helmets £65.00 eachx 10= £650

Arran Young Sports Leaders
2024-09-03 • No comments • • Arran
Dedicated Young Sports Leaders attend a number of programme and island wide events throughout the year, undertaking a number of roles such as refereeing/umpiring, leading workshops, setting equipment up for events etc. Before this is possible, it’s important for our leaders to access training off-island, free of charge or at a reduced cost. We also feel it’s important for the group of leaders to be recognisable to staff and participants, as well providing a sense of community for the groups of Leaders.
We would require financial support to purchase t-shirts and support with transport costs.
- £10 per t shirt (20 young people)
- Embroidery £4 per item
- Travel costs, 3 training courses £720 (boat ticket £4.60 per leader, average bus cost £150)

Our programme will help young people confidence, commuincation skills, leadership skills, team work, problem solving and its really fun to be part of. We believe that young people make a meaningful and important contribution as leaders in sport, and that young people should have access to a range of opportunities of leadership roles which reflect their interests and abilities.

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