Ayrshire Fire Basketball club is a recreational Basketball Club based in Ayrshire with sessions in Irvine, Kilwinning and Kilmarnock. The sessions are open for ages over 18 and for all levels of ability. The club plays an important role in helping the players confidence, skills and build on social connections. The club has a positive impact on the players mental health and wellbeing.
Project Description
We currently run sessions in Irvine and Kilwinning, as a club we are looking to build and branch out over North Ayrshire having more sessions across the local authority. We currently stuggle with storage at our sites. We'd like to purchase two storage units where we can store all our equipment. This would prevent us losing any of our equipment or equipment getting mixed into other groups resources. We are always looking to promote our club at community events and need some merchaniseing materials such as banners, poster pop ups, tshirts and flyers with our logo and information. This would help us get our publicity out and reach the wider community. At the moment we are a mens and over 18 club. We are currently aiming to diversify our club by holding more sessions and having womens basketball, under 18, under 16 & under 14 basketball.
2 Storage Cages - £640 x 2 = £1280
