We are community centre in Ardrossan and from January we are working with Ardeer to open their cafe. At Whitlees we run a free breakfast club between 8 and 9 am, which is very popular. We would love to try this as a pilot scheme at Ardeer as part of the cafe project to see if it works as Ardeer sits between 2 primary schools. Whitlees have £4060 funding from Bright Start for our own club so hopefully next year they would also fund this project after a pilot.

Creative Connections is a group of people who attend Day Opportunities who have decided that they would like to create a small social enterprise. The group would like to be given the opportunity to create art and craft products, and see their creations come to life. The group will be run by and for people who have learning disabilities, physical impairments, mental wellbeing, and people who have neurodiversity. Creative Connections will give people the chance to experience work opportunities.

Freedom Fighters vision is to address the urgent need for trauma-informed care and recovery services in Ayrshire and across Scotland. We offer counselling and recovery support to the disadvantaged, most vulnerable and isolated due to their unresolved trauma and mental health issues. Our purpose is to create opportunities for those who have suffered trauma or addiction and to find healing, release, and restoration through one-to-one counselling. We also offer support groups and workshops.
