Millport Curling Club is working with Cumbrae Primary School to give young people on the island a chance to try curling at Greenacres
Project Description
Young people on Cumbrae have urged Millport Curling Club to help give them the chance to try curling through test sessions at a mainland ice rink. It’s difficult for young islanders to participate in the sport as they need to travel off the island and it's expensive. Millport Curling club members and Cumbrae Primary School teachers will host the session with professional coaches at Greenacres ice rink. We're applying for funding for the bus, ferry and coaching for a group of thirteen 10-12 year-olds (P6&7) to have a go and be inspired to take up curling. The project will improve health and well-being by being active, trying something different and playing together in teams. The funding will mean everyone who wants to take part can do so, even families who are affected by the Cost of Living crisis.
The cost breakdown is:
Bus: £350
Ferry: £50
Venue fees (Ice/coaching): £250
Total: £650
How have young people been involved in shaping this project?
The answer to this question is private.
Location: Millport Isle of Cumbrae
Proposed on behalf of: We’re the Millport Curling Club, a small club on the Isle of Cumbrae, aiming to introduce more local people to the sport and to promote curling among our young people on the island. We've been working closely with the children at Cumbrae Primary School to develop this project and attach evidence of their enthusiasm.
