We have created an inclusive environment for all involved in our group. Whilst completing the challenges involved in the awards our group gives back to the community through chosen volunteering opportunities. Our group has provided a social lifeline for many members and it gives us the chance to visit different places throughout Scotland and connect with local history. This in turn positively impacts the health and wellbeing of our group members to help promote an active and healthy lifestyle by offering challenges that both stimulate and motivate. We have been able to access free opportunities and museums through the national trust this has not impacted our members financially. However, we would love to be able to go further afield and access new experiences together as group. This money would allow us to continue to provide an inclusive environment for all our members by covering the costs and allowing equal access to opportunities wavering financial limitations. We hope to use this money to continue to work together as a group providing key support and care to each other with the benefit of sharing new and exciting experiences together.

               We are looking to apply for funding to support our group to access opportunities   out with the free remit of the national trust. As we have created such an inclusive environment, we wouldn’t want to hinder any of our members experience due to financial constraint. This money would provide equal opportunities and access for all. The group have a keen interest in the history of Scotland and would love the opportunity to access different sites that may put pressure on some of the group members financially.  

We would love to visit Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument this would allow the group to continue their journey of discovery building their knowledge. We would also like to go through to Edinburgh and experience camera obscura together. We are looking for alternative opportunities to access that our members may not be able to access on their own.

Camera obscura – £260

Stirling Castle/Wallace Monument - £300

Sir Walter Scott – Abbotsford House - £290

Ferry to the Isle of Gigha - £150
