Everyone an Artist is a group that meets once a week at the North Ayrshire Foodbank to make, create and chat. This group offers a safe space for anyone who would like to take part in creative activity.

The project will cover the cost of the ‘Change of Use’ fee to North Ayrshire Council, allowing us to formally adopt donated derelict land and lay the foundations for a greener, more resilient future for our community.

Largs Music Club provides a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space where aspiring musicians of all ages and abilities can come together to learn, practice, and support one another in developing their musical skills.

As the mats, jacks and gatherers have not been maintained over a number of years they have now deteriorated to a level that they need replacing.
