Our project is a continuation of a long-term development plan to empower girls through rugby by developing their skills, confidence, leadership, and sense of belonging. We aim to support gender equality at Irvine Rugby Club by providing female-designed rugby kits for our growing number of girls playing the sport, offering female-led coaching, and hosting an all-female rugby festival.

We are launching a new project offering free and subsidised trips and activities for neurodivergent families and carers in the North Coast. Designed by our dedicated volunteers and members to improve wellbeing, community spirit, and promote financial inclusion. We have raised £900 to date and seek £1000 from the PB to help make our project a reality. Including animal handling sessions, family craft events, a trip to Culzean Castle, Edinburgh Zoo VIP lantern experience, and a carers lunch.

We would like to purchase equipment for local families to enjoy the benefit of at Kilmory Hall. In recent months our younger members have been enjoying our space to play pool, listen to music and enjoy the space with their siblings, friends, parents and grandparents. As they become more isolated in a rural area in the winter months it would be great to update the equipment and give them a space to enjoy together.

This allows ladies and gents over 50 to connect with others while they enjoy quizzes , chocolate bingo and other fun activities. Many of the people who attend live by themselves and this group reduces isolation,promotes positive mental health,encourages and supports friendships and interests. The club means so much to its members and has a real impact on people’s lives in a positive way.
