Creative Recycling Limited is a community-focused social enterprise based in our new Sewing Emporium shop on Townhead Street, Stevenston. In our first year of opening, we’ve created an inspiring space where people of all ages and abilities can discover the joy of sewing. We deliver affordable, hands-on workshops that teach the basics of sewing while encouraging creativity through making unique, handmade items. We need support with marketing to help raise awareness to the local people about us.

The Arran Friendship Club meets twice each month to provide a safe and friendly meeting space for those suffering memory issues, their carers or those who are feeling isolated or lonely. Our membership is predominantly in the 70 to 90+ years age group for whom maintaining social contracts in a rural community can be hard. Our meetings reduce social isolation and foster relationships by providing a communal lunch, speakers, and activities that promote mental and physical wellbeing.

A community gaming group for over 13s to get together in a safe and welcoming space to play Tabletop board games. Now in our 2nd year we originally set up the group to help people affected by social anxiety after the Covid Lockdown get back to socialising whilst taking part in a rewarding hobby, mainly Warhammer 40k. The group has grown to include 40 people of all walks of life and has gone from fortnightly to weekly meetings, and we have had requests from members to extend the games we play.

We want to build a community/memorial garden within the grounds of Winton Park In Ardrossan.

Skelmorlie Badminton Club provides a fun, friendly and hugely beneficial opportunity for local people, from teenagers to 70+ ages, the opportunity to stay healthy, reduce social isolation and gain team sports skills. The club equipment is well over a decade old, has been very well used but is no longer in a suitable state. By obtaining new equipment we can confidently retain and attract new members, by providing these items for those new to the sport or unable to afford their own.

The aim of this project is to bring the community together to share movies, music and food to help improve community cohesion as well and mental health and wellbeing during the post New Year period.

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.

Friends of Trindlemoss is a group made up of parents, family, carers and people with learning disabilities who access Trindlemoss Day Opportunities. The group was formed to fund raise and purchase new equipment, raise money for outings and let service users try new experiences for example a group went on a sailing ship and another group experienced a trip on the Seagull Trust barge. The group hold social events once a month within Trindlemoss Day opportunities.
