Garnock Community Campus Parent Council provides a uniform hub which is free to all. Providing freshly laundered, pre-loved and new items of school uniform to pupils across the campus, our Hub provides privacy and discretion when needed. By providing an outlet for pre-loved clothes we also reduce the amount of clothing which goes to landfill thus supporting the environment. Our Uniform Hub also provides toiletries, tights, stationary and school bags thus reducing the cost of the school day.

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.

Each year, a number of activities are held during the Yuletide event for children and young people in the Village. This year, we are introducing extra activities outwith the Yuletide event. Next year, we intend to try and widen the experiences for children and young people as well as make more opportunities available to them.

Each participating pupil will receive an information card containing details of support apps and take part in a street striker comp.

Annually, P6 pupils and staff from all 12 local schools (498 in 2025) visit Wellwood Burns Centre & Museum to learn about Robert Burns and the role Irvine played in inspiring and encouraging Burns, the apprentice flax-dresser, to become Burns, the apprentice poet. The “Champion of Champions” verse speaking event allows primary pupils show their budding speaking skills, boosting their self-confidence and gain an appreciation of the Scots language.

“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.

TASS Thistle Blue are seeking support for 50% of training gear and a team-building activity to boost health, wellbeing, and resilience for youngsters aged 14–15.

We would like to apply for funding to support with the purchase of new equipment and to provide healthy, low-cost snacks and food to our junior players and their opponents. This will encourage physical activity, promote positive mental health within young people and also encourage eating well and ensure our young people have equal access to free food. We strive to ensure that all membership costs are as low as possible and seeking funding contributes to allow us to do this.
