Redburn Bingo Group run a weekly bingo session on Thursday afternoons in Redburn Community Hub. This activity provides a regular fun and friendly social event in a safe and familiar social setting. The bingo sessions help to connect community members and reduce social isolation and loneliness. Members of the local community come along to the bingo sessions each week to have fun, meet new people and have a chat. The bingo is very popular and well attended.

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.

The Garden Haven will transform community wellbeing by linking food growing, sharing, and holistic health with education, therapies, and sustainable practice in a dedicated space.

WKCIL exists to support the regeneration of the village through Craft Town Scotland. WKCIL rents studios to crafters, helping to keep the village vibrant. The Barony Centre is the hub of all the activity, acting as a central point for showcasing and selling arts and crafts from local and National artists and makers. There is also a very busy cafe in the Barony, which acts as a community hub. WKCIL employs 11 part-time staff, all based in the Barony centre.

The aim is to support volunteers who are part of the Irvine 'Adopt a Flowerbed' scheme.

We are part of the Project Art Group, we meet weekly at Cranberry Moss Community Centre. The group has 24 active members, with a waiting list of others eager to join. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds, bringing together people who might never have met in everyday life. The group has created a strong sense of community and belonging. It has helped reduce isolation, given members a sense of purpose, and provided a supportive environment where friendships have flourished.

Art in Mind now has two weekly groups in different venues, for people with mental ill health . We want to learn about printing, and have a printer and a specialist printmaker to teach us all. If we are successful with this application, we will pay our specialist to service the printer, and prepare some training sessions in various printing techniques, for tutors, members and volunteers. We also need some storage to rationalise our art materials, and make them more accessible and easy to use.

We are a friendly community club supporting over 50s with loneliness and mental well-being. With 52 members, we offer quizzes, bingo, and social outings. We hope to organise special events for Valentine’s Day and Easter, as well as bus trips, helping our members connect and enjoy life together. Funding will ensure these activities are free and accessible for everyone.
