The activities will include:

Crafting, involving members of the local community, the children will learn how to upcycle and craft projects, which can be repurposed across the community, for example, at Christmas the children will work with the community volunteers to make gifts which can be gifted to members of the community who may not otherwise receive a christmas present.

Gardening, will involve the children getting the opportunity to each plant a tree, supported by our wonderful community garden volunteers.  The trees will be named after the children and they, and their families will get the opportunity to be a part of the tree's growth, bringing their family (present and future) to see how the tree has grown.

Games will involve the children getting to have Board game opportunities, helping to teach the younger children how to play.

Baking will involve the children learning how to make healthy snacks, moving on to baking breads and cakes.

The funding will be utilised to support the children to have a positive impact on the environment, whilst also promoting positive mental health and active lives, through community and peer to peer relationship building.

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.

We started up our team with a small group of kids and a few parent volunteers who agreed to become novice football coaches. 

Since then our team has expanded in popularity and we now have a small army of 38 boys and girls who train twice a week and play games in the local NASA league at weekends. Our team is ably assisted by a band of volunteer parents who help out in all weathers whether coaching, providing transport to games, setting up equipment, cheering loudly, chasing balls, administering first aid or anything else required!

As with many such local groups, funding is always a significant issue. We have always tried to keep the fees for parents as low as possible and we have been grateful so far to have the support of some kind local business owners who have helped out with the costs of match-day and training kits as well as equipment such as footballs. 

A large part of the income from fees is spent on training and match day facilities as well as replacing balls etc.  which doesn’t leave much extra to spend on gear for the kids. 

We are hoping to get funding to cover the cost of waterproof winter jackets for all of our players to use at training and games, the west coast of Scotland isn’t known for being the most forgiving places to be running around a football pitch and we’d like to keep them all warm and dry as much as possible. 

The ideal jacket we have identified is Pendle Inter Rain Jacket (black/red) which is fleece lined, wind proof, waterproof and heavy duty with a hood to cope with our winter training and games, we would be looking to get 29 kids sizes @ £24.29 plus 10 small adult sizes @ £29.29, total £997.31 which would give us one spare.

Any help you were able to offer with this would be hugely appreciated by all of the kids and our volunteers. 

We are the Junior Section of Garnock Rugby Club.  We strive to keep rugby as affordable as possible to young people while providing opportunities to promote health and wellbeing through physical activity.  We would like to purchase equipment and make a contribution towards the costs the club incurs to hire indoor and astro turf facilities during the winter months.  This allows young people to continue to participate in rugby activities during the winter months thus supporting their health and weelbeing (physical and mental).  By seeking funding we are able to keep our membership and siubscriptions fees as low as possible to ensure costs are not restrictive in people being involved in the sport.    

Equipment £200

Hire of indoor and Astro facilities £800

Total £1000

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)
