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 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.

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.
