Coffee Cadenzas - Community Coffee Concert Series!
1 comment North Coast
<p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> <p>'Coffee Cadenzas' is a community project with the aim to bring members of the community together through the joy of art and music.<br /> We are proposing an 8-week coffee concert series, starting on the 21st of October 2023 and ending on the 16th of December 2023.<br /> The concerts will be held in the main gallery of the Barony Centre, West Kilbride. This is an opportunity for audience members to connect with others, support local venues such as the Barony Centre and experience arts and culture in the local community. All concerts will be every Saturday from 10:15am - 12:15pm, commencing in October.</p> <p>What will it look like:<br /> Members of the public will have free access to the Barony Centre and will enjoy the immersive experience of sound and visual arts work harmoniously together. All whilst networking with other members of the community of all ages over a cup of coffee from the Barony Cafe.<br /> We want to break the restrictions of classical traditions and offer members of the public the choice of how they want to experience the event. This will be freedom of movement, providing areas where participants can talk, solely listen to the music or find a quiet corner to reflect.</p> <p>Supporting this project will allow members of the public to access arts and culture for free, breaking down the barriers often experienced for those accessing the arts. The overall project will offer health and wellbeing benefits to the communty, by providing a hub for socialisation and connection in the local area. </p>

No comments North Coast
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">West Kilbride Village Gala is an annual event that has been running for over 60 years and provides an opportunity to bring the community of West Kilbride together. We hire in a variety of fun equipment and rides and offer reduced cost wristbands for unlimited use to ensure that these are accessible to all regardless of financial situation. The Gala provides the people of West Kilbride with an opportunity to socialise and enjoy themselves, promoting community cohesion, health and wellbeing and tackling social isolation.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">In addition to the fun equipment and rides there are a range of stalls e.g., tea room, bbq, bottle stall, cake and candy, bric-a-brac, hook a duck and lucky dip and much more. These activities take place in two large marquees, which require to be stored throughout the year. We are seeking funding to purchase storage cages for the marquees (which are also used by other community groups), storage boxes and ground mats. As the storage cages are on wheels this will allow easier transport of the marquees.</span></span></p>

<p>We are looking for funding to Promote & Grow the Mens Shed in support of the Community. The Trustees are Hosting the Largs Boys Brigade along with their Leaders to introduce the Lads to Woodworking & a workshop environment, to allow them to pick up skils that they will hopefully use in the future. We are also planning to have talks with the newly formed Womens Institute in Largs, as we've had numerous women approach us about to the possability of setting Sessions for women. </p>
Skelmorlie Village Hub
1 comment North Coast
<p>After confirming a demand we would like to create a community facility to help combat loneliness and isolation which is most prevalent in our older community. We would like to improve social interaction through an informal drop-in venue hosted in our Community Centre and run by volunteers in conjunction with the Community Association. The desire is to provide a weekly meeting place with soup and refreshments. The availability of such a facility becomes known quickly and encorages those more isolated to participate and develop new friendships.It also gives people the opportunity to better understand and hopefully participate in the other activities available in the centre, library and community. Also to help create any new and needed facilities. In a rural community people can become isolated because often travel is needed to participate in many activities in other facilities. Our aim is to tackle this inhibition by at least providing a local basic meeting facility that can be tailored to increase participation as demand is understood. Using this Village Hub approach we will try to encourage participation with the hope of providing other social, recreational, well-being and educational opportunities. This will provide the Community Association with a better understanding of the needs of the community to be used in our ongoing interaction with the North Ayrshire Council Officers.</p>

Tai -Chi
No comments North Coast
<p>We would like to continue to offer Tai-Chi classes to people living with Dementia in our local Community. Funding a qualified Tai-Chi Instructor and hiring an appropriate Hall, to undertake the classes for the local Community. Research Studies showed that in people with mild cognitive impairment Tai-Chi slowed the progression to Dementia more than other types of exercise and improved cognitive function in a comparable fashion to other types of exercise or cognitive training. Tai-chi is a safe effective activity that improves physical balance and emotional wellbeing in older adults.</p>
Digitisation of Collections
17 comments North Coast
<p>Largs Museum has a wonderful collection of Art, Artifacts, Photographs and Postcards, many of which are over 100 years old. <br /> <br /> It is important that these collections be digitized so they can be made readily available to the local community without placing any undue stress on the originals many of which are fragile. <br /> <br /> All of the musuem's collections relate to our local heritage such as artifacts, events, people and places. </p> <p>As an independent museum run by volunteers we are funded mainly by donations from visitors to the museum.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
