Pathway to Music
2025-09-08 • No comments • • Irvine
In conjunction with North Ayrshire Council Music Services, Music@Wellwood would organise a Strings Masterclass in 2026 with Donnie Deacon, a Lecturer of Violin, Viola and Chamber Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Donnie Deacon can provide guidance, technical advice and possible progression pathways into music for young people taking part.
Opportunities such as this have proven to strengthen access to music within North Ayrshire with young musicians supporting community groups and continuing to work within the community and schools promoting music as a career path and as an important educational tool which can continue to be a lifetime benefit.
In addition to an afternoon Masterclass in the Wellwood Burns Centre & Music, the young people would be invited to attend an evening performance by Donnie Deacon in Wellwood.
Provision of the afternoon Masterclass would cost £400. Attendance of 10 young people (approx. number) at the evening performance in Wellwood would be £100. Afternoon refreshments for the young people attending the afternoon Masterclass £30. Any costs associated with the use of the Wellwood would be met by Music@Wellwood.
Glebie Gardeners
2025-09-11 • No comments • • Irvine
Glebie Gardeners is a community gardening project based in the grounds of Glebe Primary. Children, parents/carers and local partners will come together at the after-school gardening club to learn how good grows from seed to plate. The project will teach children about herbs and vegetables, support them to cook simple dishes such as soups and give them practical life skills. Any vegetables or herbs grown will be available for families to use to enhance their own meals which will also support them during the cost-of-living crisis.
We are seeking funding to purchase four large wooden planters, compost and a few sets of gardening tools. These will provide the essential resources to get children planting, nurturing and harvesting their own produce.
The project will benefit all children of Glebe by helping them to understand sustainability, heathy eating and where their food comes from. It will also strengthen relationships across generations, as parents and partners share their knowledge and skills while working alongside the children.
We believe this idea deserves to be funded because it combines education, health, and community spirit. By investing in Glebie Gardeners, you will be helping young people develop communication skills, confidence and an appreciation of nature, all whilst creating lasting bonds within the community.

Since moving to 11s, game time is longer and the pitch size is bigger meaning that our weekly costs have risen. This last year we are constantly coming up against financial barriers due to the rising costs of hiring pitches, referee costs, coaches training certificates and equipment.
The team have recently raised funding via sponsorship from local businesses and parental contribution to get new strips for the start of the season as the boys had all outgrown their kit. All funding raised paid for the new kits for the boys.
We are seeking funding to purchase new training kits, this will be shorts, tops and socks. Funding is all sought for new equipment of balls, cones and training poles. Having all the boys in the same kit promotes inclusion and uniformity.
We seek this funding to ease the financial pressure on parents/carers who already contribute monthly to the team.
Breakdown of costs;
16 training strips (shorts, top, socks) x £50.00 £800.00
Equipment (balls, cones, training poles) £200.00
