We would like to keep our running costs at a minimum for our families, whilst providing the best experience for our Brownies. Our group enjoys arts & crafts and cooking skills, working towards badges. Each Brownie displays their badges to show off their interests and to encourage and help others to try new skills. Our trips and celebrations are costing more as expenses increase, and cost to register each child in Girlguiding. The grant would allow us to maintain our normal fees.

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.

Keeping costs low for our families, we would like to be able to kit the team in the same Home strips and provide rainjackets for the next season of football, keeping our fees to a minimum which covers our weekly pitch hire. Our volunteer coaches have developed these players for the past 2 years and are committed to keeping football an affordable hobby for all.

We are a dedicated group of dance parents from CSDA, passionate about providing opportunities for our children to pursue their love of dance. Through fundraising efforts, we aim to support our young dancers in continuing to develop their skills, confidence, and creativity, while fostering a sense of community teamwork. The funds raised will be used to support our dance group costumes. Your support will enable our children to continue pursing their passion, while promoting self expression.

“Kicking Off Health, Confidence, and Team Spirit!” We want to grow our local boys’ football team to support young people’s health and wellbeing. Funding will provide kit, equipment, venue hire, and a Veo camera to boost learning and confidence. Our project makes football accessible for all, helping boys stay active, build friendships, and feel part of a supportive team.

As a parent council, we work with the school to increase family engagement and create opportunities for our young people to get together outwith school times. We arrange discos, support with morning breakfast club and provide seasonal opportunities for our young people to have fun together. With rising costs, we're finding it more difficult to organise discos without asking families for a small donation. This fund would alleviate that pressure allowing the activities to go ahead this year.

We want to help our students attend after-school sports clubs by offering a kit box with uniformed sportswear for those who can’t take part because they don’t have access to the right clothing.
