Shopping Vouchers for Millport Community Shop Members
No comments North Coast and Cumbraes
We intend to give regular shoppers at the Community Shop a voucher to use in the local convenience store. The Community Shop offers members a 'top up shop' at low cost but, with winter coming up and the Cost of Living rising daily, members are finding it more and more difficult to buy essential groceries. The local convenience store has been very supportive of the Community Shop and this will also serve as a 'thank you' to them.

Each year, a number of activities are held during the Yuletide period for children and young people in the village of West Kilbride. We introduced extra activities last year which was a resounding success. We would like to replicate the extra activities again for next year, 2027, and possibly add more activities. All activities are free and are more accessible for families, children and young people.

Largs Radio- Reaching new listeners
No comments North Coast and Cumbraes
We have applied to help us fund website development and social media support so that we can increase listeners across the North Coast for the volunteer led Largs Community Radio station. The station brings people together and gives voice to Largs and the wider community. As we increase our reach we would also attract additional presenters from the area, and all of that would encourage new advertisers so that we would meet our aim of being self funding within 2 years.
