We seek to buy new garden furniture for the Heather Lodge therapeutic garden, to increase access and enjoyment of the space by service users and the wider community.

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.

The group encourages members of the local community surrounding the Redburn area to come together and provides a variety of community based activities in a warm and inviting safe space. Our goal is to bring all members of our community together regularly whilst promoting a variety of activities throughout the year with a focus on alleviating poverty and enhancing mental health and well-being.

The football ground is a focal point of local activity—used not just for matches, but, on occasion, for youth programmes and community gatherings. In deprived areas where access to health and leisure services is already limited, this can be a lifeline for many disabled residents. We aim to create accessible facilities would allow more residents to take part, helping to improve mental wellbeing, reduce loneliness, and create stronger community bonds.

Our project seeks to plant an orchard of 60 fruit trees in Holm Green, beside Mill Lane in Stevenston. The public would be free to take the fruit each summer/autumn.

To support the funding or rehersals and replacements for instruments. Parts- £1000

Thanks to previous PB grants over the last 3 years Eglinton Growers Allotments have been able to provide the local community two free family events which have been a massive success, well attended, with tickets gone in just a few days and many returning year after year. Next year we wish to again host a free Easter Egg hunt for local children and this year a Colour 'Run' in the summer weeks. Each of our past events were and will be attended by 100 children and their families.

Children 1st staff member is applying on behalf of our group. Our Coffee and Connect group was created in 2023 and is aimed at supporting parents and carers within the local community. Over that past few years the group has grown and has consistently met weekly during term time within the Children First space in Bourtreehill. Meeting here has allowed us to build strong relationships and offer peer support to one another.
