We are seeking funds to help inspire and facilitate local people to look after Beith Orr's Trust Park. We plan to invest in litter picking stations and organise a 'clean up the park' event. To celebrate success and recruit new volunteers we then plan to have a fun day in the park.

The disability forum has for many met monthly in Beith for many years to allow member to keep in touch and we have speakers on lots subjects and go on trips and go for meals. we used to be able to raise a lot of funds, but this has got more difficult as our membership as got older and numbers have dropped. this is our first time applying to this fund.

The group runs every Thursday at Bridgend Community Centre with the aim of reducing isolation of elderly people in the community. Each week we provide tea and coffee and every second week we have a prize bingo. We have strong links with partners in the community and aim to provide local elderly people with a safe and welcoming space.

Our Unit is part of a larger organisation, but despite this we struggle to fund outings. Annual subscriptions have recently risen to over £70 per child, placing additional pressure on families and limits what we can provide. The Unit has been running over 30 yrs, supporting girls aged 4-7 with a safe space that promotes friendship and new interests. We also rely on a weekly subscription of £2.50, which helps cover basic running costs but does not stretch far enough to fund outings.
