The Ardrossan youth association are looking to run a family fun day again in July 2026. The purpose is to bring the community together with fun activities and also to promote the youth centre.
Project Description
Our aim ist to "To promote the benefit of all young people in Ardrossan aged from 11-25 years, without, distinction of sex, politics, religion or other opinions. By association with local authorities, voluntary organisations and the inhabitants of the community of Ardrossan, in a common effort to advance education, provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure with the object of improving the mental, social and physical wellbeing of young people"
Our project is all about offering free activities and food to the young people and their family's in the Ardrossan area at our annual family funday. There is a number of reasons we run this event, some are as follows- the cost of living limits familays to do other activities during the long summer weeks which usually has a cost attached, We include consultations at our fun days to get views from the community, what is needed in the community and how the youth centre could help with these issues and we like to promote what the centre can offer for all young people in the community.
The total cost is over £1000 but the association will complete other funding applications.
Inflatables £500, BBQ and utencils £350, Face painter 4 hours £250, petting zoo £350, food, £500, Drum 4 ur life £150 donation, Children entertainment £265, First Aid £150. There are other costs that the association will also cover.
