The Saltcoats Men’s group meets every week in the Argyle Community Centre from 11am-1pm, offering a safe and welcoming space for men to chat over a game of snooker or pool. The group sadly lost its leader last Christmas, who is a huge loss but this has brought the group closer together.
Project Description
This free group is all about being supportive and encouraging to one another. Building camaraderie and helping participants reconnect with others and themselves.
Reducing loneliness and isolation
Reducing low mood and depression
Increasing a sense of purpose, community and belonging
Increasing a sense of routine, structure and self-worth
Promoting health and wellbeing - time together in a safe and trusting space to connect and open up to peers
Providing peer support for mental health - checking in with each other - "Is there anyone struggling today?"
Free access to snooker and pool - removing financial barriers
It is proposed that the funding grant, if successful, would be spent as follows:
Cost of weekly room hire for a year (£360)
Cost of weekly refreshments/food provision per group – teas, coffees, juice, biscuits and fruit (£100)
Cost of additional quarterly healthy activities and travel out with the community centre (e.g. archery, bowling) (£250)
Cost of promoting the group and recruiting more group participants - to reach more local men who are struggling and isolated (£40)
Many thanks for your time and kind consideration.
Location: Argyle Community Centre, Campbell Ave, Saltcoats, KA21 5AG
