A community gaming group for over 13s to get together in a safe and welcoming space to play Tabletop board games. Now in our 2nd year we originally set up the group to help people affected by social anxiety after the Covid Lockdown get back to socialising whilst taking part in a rewarding hobby, mainly Warhammer 40k. The group has grown to include 40 people of all walks of life and has gone from fortnightly to weekly meetings, and we have had requests from members to extend the games we play.

A group for over 60's men, who meet to play board games, have lunch and support each other socially and economically. The group also bring in speakers and advise on current opportunities for their members.

We want to build a community/memorial garden within the grounds of Winton Park In Ardrossan.

We are the 1st Saltcoats Beavers group, with our members coming from Saltcoats and Stevenston. Our Beavers weren't able to attend the last camp with the Cubs and Scouts from all over Ayrshire as the setting wasn't appropriate for our kids with additional needs. We would love to fund the Beavers share of our next group camp so that they can all attend with the bigger kids in an appropriate setting, and fund the badges they will earn at camp.

We are seeking funding to support a series of inclusive and engaging activities for our Parent & Toddler Group aimed at improving health and wellbeing, building community spirit, and supporting families during the cost-of-living crisis. We also plan to incorporate green projects to promote environmental awareness from an early age.
