No comments Anne Marie McMillan Kilwinning

<p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">St Winin&rsquo;s Over 60&rsquo;S &nbsp;Club meets each Thursday throughout the year to allow older people to connect with others and enjoy a whole range of engaging and fun activities. &nbsp;The club aims to reduce social isolation and provide a safe and welcoming space where older people feel included and valued. &nbsp;Our club encourages group members to meet new people, enjoy a chat in the&nbsp;good company of others. The club is open to anyone over the age of 60 and has a long standing commitment to supporting older people in the local community that spans over 30 years. &nbsp;The club recently celebrated our 30th anniversary in March 2023. &nbsp;<br /> Our weekly meetings take in St Winnins church hall and this incurs a weekly letting fee of &pound;50. Due to the cost living crisis, we are unable to ask any more than a minimal weekly fee from our group members. &nbsp;These weekly fees help pay for tea/coffee/ biscuits which are offered each week. We are looking for funding to help us pay for the ongoing costs of this weekly letting fees.<br /> &nbsp;In addition, our group particularly enjoys hosting a variety of seasonal celebrations. These&nbsp;promote the positive health and wellbeing of our group members, raise&nbsp;spirits and provide lots of good fun. &nbsp;We would like to seek funding to enable us to hold a Burns Supper in the New Year. &nbsp;This would include the cost of catering, decorations, music and hall let.</span></span></span></p>

North Ayrshire Tandem Cycling

10 comments Andrew Lannigan Kilwinning

<p><strong>We are a newly esablished Tandem Cycling Group, set up to allow Vision Impaired people like myself, to get<br /> out and about on a Tandem Bike, together with a fully qualified Pilot. Being Vision Impaired does&#39;nt mean&nbsp;<br /> that you cant ride a bike. We are a relitivly new group base in Kilwinning, but are very open to members from&nbsp;<br /> the All North Ayrshire area&#39;s. We are at the stage where we have a Constitution, proposed and seconded at our &nbsp;first&nbsp;<br /> AGM held on Tuesday 15th August 2023 where we openly elected a committee from 18 members.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><br /> &nbsp;</p>
