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.

We have been running our Uniform Swap Shop at Dalry Primary for a few years which is a way to reduce the cost of living for our local community. As well as a benefit to the local community, it also saves money and helps the environment!

We are looking for funds to add to our resources for the swap shop and in turn, being able to match all requests for support to any family.
