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. 

Skelmorlie Parent Council are bidding for £1000 to support the purchase of the "My Happy Mind" program and resources which will help to continue the excellent work the school currently do to support pupil health and wellbeing. The cost of the programe is approx £1500 and the School and Parent Council will use fundraising to meet the additonal costs. 

 The school frequently consult with children about plans for the school and ideas for developments. The children have identified that focusing on health and wellbeing would be positive for their school and that the tools and resources look like fun to use. 

"We looked at different ideas to help build resilience and help when we feel anxious. We use Zones of Regulations in school and Myhappymind links to that too. We watched videos of other children talking about how Myhappymind has helped their school and we decided this would help us too."

Primary 7 pupil. 

My Happy Mind is an evidence based program taught across the whole school in weekly sessions, 

Meet Your Brain – Learning about how our brains work.

Celebrate – Understanding our character strengths and celebrating ourselves.

Appreciate – Developing gratitude as a habit.

Relate – Building positive relationships.

Engage – Engaging with the world.

Teaching Staff at the school will be able to use the resources to embed resillience, coping strategies and strengths based approaches into lessons across the curriculum. 

“The portal looks easy to use with the lessons being designed to “pick up and go” and the resources being at hand means this will be a very manageable way of delivering Health and Wellbeing lessons.”

“Resilience is a skill we are needing to work on in our class and the techniques this programme has look to be effective in helping children with self-regulation.”

As a community we are aware of the pressures young people face,with rising levels of poverty, inequaltiy and reduced access to vital services and we are only just understanding the with the long term impact of covid restrictions on childrens development. We believe that access to the My Happy Mind Program will support children to develop the skills and resillience to cope with any challenges they face. The school is a key part of our community, and as such has the potential to embed these approaches with families and the wider community,

"The children will share sessions with parents/carers to highlight the importance of self-care and building self-esteem, resilience, and confidence. The children hope to promote this within our community with sessions for wider public at events such as the at the Nature Festival next year." Head Teacher Lynne Cathcart

We would like to apply for funding for fun activities for children and young people aged who attend Fairlie Out of School Care. These activities will take place within an out of school club and will be involve people from across the community.

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.

Costs will include:

Crafting supplies = £360

Board Games / Indoor and Outdoor games = £130

Portable baking equipment/baking sets = £260
