The Autumn Club are applying for funding to cover the cost to hire a coach for an outing and also to provide catering for a Tea Party.

After the success of our first community garden at The Argyle Centre, Start Little Grow Big is expanding. We are now working with West Coast Furniture Bank SCIO and The Criminal Justice Team to create a brand-new community garden space 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.

As Save Ardrossan Harbour have been very busy and continue to progress with our campaign to save the harbour, we have limited access in terms of printing for flyers, petitions and posters. The project would allow us to operate more cost effectively. The project will also increase our profile with purchasing more pin badges which help enhance our message.

Stevenston Christmas Lights Committee is responsible for the maintenance and display of the Christmas Lights. With this an annual event takes place every year for the community switch on. The switch on is an opportunity for residents of Stevenston and the wider community to come along to a free family friendly event to enjoy and celebrate the upcoming festivities.

We are a friendly community club supporting over 50s with loneliness and mental well-being. With 52 members, we offer quizzes, bingo, and social outings. We hope to organise special events for Valentine’s Day and Easter, as well as bus trips, helping our members connect and enjoy life together. Funding will ensure these activities are free and accessible for everyone.

The project supports people living with dementia to enjoy 1-2-1 befriending, provide companionship within their home, or attend one of our dementia wellbeing cafes.

The group would like to continue providing opportunities of discovery through a group trip, STEM activities & by hosting a community coffee morning.

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.
