BABCA are a group of volunteers elected to run Towerlands Community Centre with the assistance of the local authority we run family events to promote the centre and encorage local people to use the facility. We also have just recently opened our latest project a new community garden and are looking for volunteers to help run and grow food in it for our local food larder the farm basket. Holding a social event would mean that we can get people into the centre and let them know about the other groups we have in the centre like the pipe band, brownies, So Lovely and the new youth club that will be starting up soon. We like social events to be cheap or free as we know though Children's First that famililies are struggling to pay bills and the children are more likely to attend if events are free. Each event will cost appoximatly £500 each with BABCA covering any other expenses for food and drinks and easter eggs for all the children that attend our easter event. valentine band £400 hall decorations £100 flyers and posters £56 hall let £94 tickets for both events £50 food, easter eggs and drinks and childrens disco £300.

We paln to take the members out for Seasonal lunch at McChristies Restaurant in Crosshouse. We would provide transport to and from the venue. This would be an accessible bus due to the various walking abilities of some of our members and also wheelchair accessible. We want this trip to be inclusive for all of our members as they enjoy this annual treat and given the time of year it is, it is great that they can be included in festive celebrations.

Accssible bus (Coast to Coast) £275.00 Seasonal lunch for all members (between 35-40 members) £725.00

Total requested: £1000.00

We run our gala week where we plan to have events for the children including a fun run, a treasure hunt, kids bingo, a football tournament and beetle drive leading.  On the gala day our aim is to provide free entertainment for the children across the full of the community, this entertainment will be a parade with a band and local groups involved, numerous entertainment throughout the day, family races and tug of war.  Our aim is to continue to provide free entertainment this year, ensuring the gala is accessible to all children within Dreghorn and surrounding areas to enjoy free entertainment and a local day out removing financial barriers and reducing inequality. This project will strengthen the community spirit of those living in the area
