We are a small nursery in Dalry, with a parent run committee. We are applying for funding to purchase outdoor resources i.e. clothing and equipment. The appropriate outdoor clothing will ensure children have equal access regardless of familys financial situation, promotes inclusion, encourages outdoor play in all weathers and enhances learning opportunities. Outdoor learning is such a fantastic way for children to learn as it boots confidence and supports mental and physical wellbeing.

As we are an established Bowling Club we would like to widen our remit to include families with younger children therefore we need to update our age appropriate equipment. 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. As it is our plan to create a pleasant and welcoming area for spectators we would like to build a raised bed for shrubs.

We are the 1st Saltcoats Beavers group, with our members coming from Saltcoats and Stevenston. Our Beavers weren't able to attend the last camp with the Cubs and Scouts from all over Ayrshire as the setting wasn't appropriate for our kids with additional needs. We would love to fund the Beavers share of our next group camp so that they can all attend with the bigger kids in an appropriate setting, and fund the badges they will earn at camp.

We play an important role in reducing social isolation by providing a welcoming environment for individuals who are interested in nature and enjoy outdoor physical activity. We attract members from as far afield as Saltcoats.

We are looking to hold a Halloween and Xmas events. Every year we do community events and bring the families together with Halloween haunted mansion , pumpkin trails and recently started Halloween garden decorations with the winning family receiving a small participating gift. At Xmas we do the Xmas fayre, santas grotto, family movie nights, and the annual Xmas eve santa sleigh providing selection boxes for every child in the village.

After a very successful 2024-25 season the Irvine Sharks have for a second year won their league undefeated and again received promotion from Division 2 to Division 1. The teams members majority are all approaching 40 or over. Many who had been inactive over the past years before the start of this club. This has led to a dramatic boost again in members physical and mental health.
