Thanks to previous PB grants over the last 3 years Eglinton Growers Allotments have been able to provide the local community two free family events which have been a massive success, well attended, with tickets gone in just a few days and many returning year after year. Next year we wish to again host a free Easter Egg hunt for local children and this year a Colour 'Run' in the summer weeks. Each of our past events were and will be attended by 100 children and their families.

We are a group of 14 individuals aged 50+ who meet on a weekly basis in Kilwinning library with an aim to complete the discovery award programme through taking part in personal and group challenges.

The event has become a highlight of the year in Kilwinning. The community day in McGavin Park on a Thursday prior to the schools returning in August. A day for families with entertainment, information stalls, community groups, kids entertainment and health checks all on offer for visitors. It’s all free to attend.

North Ayrshire Tandem Cycling is a local group set up in Ayrshire in August 2023 that allows visually impaired people to enjoy cycling with the support of a sighted pilot. We currently have 27 Members in total, 9 of which who are visually impaired. We enjoy weekly and midweek organised outings. We also have organised “Have a go on a Tandem” days once a month, where people can come along and make use of our Tandems.

The members of the Kilwinning Community Shed would like to embark on a pilot project to create a 'buddy bench' for use in a locally identified primary school, and if successful, to roll this project out to other primary schools in the Kilwinning area. Alongside a buddy bench we would also aim to offer an outdoor chalkboard with the option to include an indoor 'postbox' whose function is determined by the school themselves.

We are part of the Project Art Group, we meet weekly at Cranberry Moss Community Centre. The group has 24 active members, with a waiting list of others eager to join. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds, bringing together people who might never have met in everyday life. The group has created a strong sense of community and belonging. It has helped reduce isolation, given members a sense of purpose, and provided a supportive environment where friendships have flourished.

St Winin’s Over 60’S Club meets each Thursday throughout the year to allow older people to connect with others and enjoy a whole range of engaging and fun activities.  The club aims to reduce social isolation and provide a safe and welcoming space where older people feel included and valued.  Our club encourages group members to meet new people, enjoy a chat in the good company of others. The club is open to anyone over the age of 60 and has a long-standing commitment to supporting older people
