Buddy Benches Pilot Project for Primary Schools
No comments Kilwinning
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.

No comments Kilwinning
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.
