Brownies, Guides and Rangers outdoors adventures
2023-09-17 • No comments • • Kilwinning
We are planning an outdoor residential weekend in May 2024, for girls aged 7-18. This weekend will provide a break from home life, the opportunity to try new physical activities, develop self confidence and team building skills whilst allowing girls to see their full potential. Our girls come from all areas and schools in Kilwinning, these weekends offer the opportunity for girls to widen their social connections and build new friendships whilst enjoying the outdoors.
The average cost of a weekend away at an activity centre is £150 per person which is often outwith the budget of many families due to the cost of living crisis. This money will help support our members by subsidising the cost per person, making the weekend more accessible and inclusive regardless of social circumstances. £1000 would allows us to reduce the cost for each of our 30 members by around £35 per person giving families a 20% reduction in cost.
Cranberry's community larder

Our project will help the community access the community larder at no cost and supporting them when needed.
This will allow them most in need access food with dignity, the usual cost is £4.00 for up to £15.00 worth of groceries. We have found in recent months through referrals from outside partners is that many are struggling to even afford £4. This will help reduce that stress and knowing that the most vunerable can access this service.
£1000.00 divided by £4.00 will be to cover the cost of 250 households in accessing food with dignity.
