Place Woodlands Kilbirnie
No comments Garnock Valley
We are a 100% voluntary group made up of people who maintain access paths around the woodlands for all to use and enjoy. With conservation and re-wilding in mind, we always work with these principles in mind. To create a peaceful space where people from all over the Garnock Valley can enjoy nature and learn about their local environment. Next year, we are hoping to work with the Nectare Network and improve the meadow.

Our vision is to host a Christmas celebration that is welcoming to all, strengthens community bonds, and brings back the wonder of the festive season. With the lighting of our community Christmas tree, Santa visits, entertainment, and locally run festive stalls, we will create a joyful event where the benefits are shared by the whole community.

Kilbirnie and Glengarnock Age Concern

Kilbirnie and Glengarnock Age Concern has been active for over 50 years and aims to provide the elderly within our community with the opportunity to socialise and participate in activities that benefit their wellbeing and reduce social isolation. Since covid this has become even more important as many people have become more isolated and have a fear of going out. We meet weekly in Bridgend Community centre and aim to provide excursions twice a year.
Access for All: Inclusive Improvements at Merksworth Park, Dalry

The football ground is a focal point of local activity—used not just for matches, but, on occasion, for youth programmes and community gatherings. In deprived areas where access to health and leisure services is already limited, this can be a lifeline for many disabled residents. We aim to create accessible facilities would allow more residents to take part, helping to improve mental wellbeing, reduce loneliness, and create stronger community bonds.
