After the success of the fun day in July 2023 we thought it would be great to be able to replicate and add to this for 2024 whilst trying to keep everything as low cost as possible. From Pony rides to misbehaving donkeys, and the cutest alpacas around there will be something for all the family to enjoy. We are applying for this funding towards the cost of activities for next year.

3TFM broadcasts programmes to the 3 Towns and beyond, from its base at the Frank Sweeney building in Ardrossan.  We would like to upgrade some of our studio equipment to enable us to interview guests live on air, and to prerecord interviews.  This would enable us to expand on our health and wellbeing output by producing more programmes containing health and wellbeing features with advice and information from local experts, and stories from local people.

We are residents of Kyleshill Court in Saltcoats, we regularly take part in the David White Engagement Hub acitivities, we have formed a steering group and would like to apply for PB funding to enhance the opportunities on offer for residents.

As part of the Girlguiding family we help girls aged 4 - 7 to become more resilient through completing badgework from 6 different themes. We are well known in the area for the opportunities we give girls. We always try to source businesses locally who can provide a variety of experiences for our girls and make coming to Rainbows fun as well as in unit activities.

An aged 50+  group offering a place for people to meet, discover new interest, new friends share/learn skills while working towards an award. The group reduces social isolation, improves wellness, mental health, keeps people active.

Who are we?

Two local Girls from Stevenston in North Ayrshire who share a passion for recycling reclaimed items such as textiles and small household furnishings. We have set up this non-profit Social Enterprise to share our work with others.

What do we do?

We create items such as bags, pouffes’, quilts and much more using reclaimed clothes, bedding and scrap materials that are reusable.

Why do we do it?

We want to share our passion for what we do with people across our communities to share the fun learning and open up new ideas to people who may have never considered using a sewing machine or recycling reclaimed items.

The benefits

Learning new skills, being creative is relaxing and rewarding its helpful to the environment and its great fun!

The money would fund archaeological work to oversee wetland creation at Ardeer Quarry LNR in Stevenston, making sure the project does not impact any undiscovered archaeological relics that might be there.

We are looking to redevelop our outdoor space into a community garden area with seating and raised beds to grow fruit and vegetables.
