The Function Suite, while forming part of the building at Ardrossan Indoor Bowling Club is utilised in a totally separate manner. The Function Suite provides a Cafe, which provides meals to eat in or take away. The local Bridge, Whist, Fishing Clubs and British Legion Branch as well as the Visibly Impaired Group use it as their base. It is also used by the community for Birthdays, Weddings, Funerals etc
Description
It is intended to extend the use of the facilities to other local groups including pensioners, those with Alzheimer's/Dementia, and a friendly hub for those who would otherwise find themselves suffering from isolation. It is centrally located and it is intended to offer a wide range of activities from bingo, cards, dominoes to book exchange, colouring books, nostalgia and gentle exercise. As those who suffer from Alzheimer's and Dementia are susceptible to certain colours it is intended to repaint internally(£400) and also offer a change of coloured crockery (£100). Whilst materials for the activities would also have to be obtained (£200).
The Function Suite are also keen to offer a variety of entertainment each month for the general public to attend including music, race nights, etc (£300).
We feel that the Function Suite can play an important role in the integration of people from all age groups, genders, ethnicity and will try wherever possible to be all inclusive.
Location: Ardrossan Indoor Bowling Club, 150 Glasgow Street, Ardrossan is right at the heart of the community. It provides a sporting venue unique to North Ayrshire, of which we are very proud. But we also realise the potential for a large part of the building to be utilised as a Community Hub for people from all parts of the Three Towns. In these times when people are still struggling to integrate back into society we believe that the services we have on offer, along with our new ventures, can make a real difference to those who need it most.
