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.

West Kilbride Yuletide

No comments Deirdre Oakley North Coast

West Kilbride Yuletide is an annual event that brings members of the local Community together to celebrate the Christmas.  Yuletide 2022 was a great success and brought back a sense of Community togetherness following COVID.

All activities are free therefore everyone can participate and feel included.  By providing free activities, it addresses poverty and inequality by making it accessible for everyone, which is important as we are going through a Cost of Living Crisis.

The activities in this event will help to bring back the joy and happiness it brought to all members of the Community.  The knock-on effect of this will enhance the Health and Wellbeing of all generations.

West Kilbride Yuletide is an excellent example of inter-generational working and breaks down several barriers that exist between generations and brings a sense of Community Cohesion and Community Spirit.

Largs Museum

Digitisation of Collections

17 comments Largs Museum North Coast

Largs Museum has a wonderful collection of Art, Artifacts, Photographs and Postcards, many of which are over 100 years old.    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.  All of the musuem's collections relate to our local heritage such as artifacts, events, people and places.  

As an independent museum run by volunteers we are funded mainly by donations from visitors to the museum.

Largs Green Futures

No comments LGF North Coast

To provide growing spaces around Largs for people who live and work in Largs to grow their own food in a community environment. The project has secured land in two locations in Largs which will be transformed into much wanted and needed community growing areas. We expect to have access to at least one of the large growing areas by the New Year so the land can be made ready for the next growing season. With this is mind we want to make the gardens accessible and usable spaces for all and are seeking funding for raised beds requiring little or no upkeep and maintenance by their users once in place. The project's main outcomes are hoped to include supporting families grow fruit and vegetables for themselves and using surpluses to support the wider community through the food bank, a community larder or other community groups in the current cost of living crisis and for the future.

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.

Enhance existing Community Garden on entry to Largs, create new focal point for Seasonal Displays and signage advising of what's happening in Largs 

Community garden located at corner of Irvine Road and Googoside Road is a highly visual prominent focal point on the way into central Largs viewed by locals and visitors 

Garden is looked after and maintained by Community Council and brings a great deal of happyiness and wellbeing to those driving or walking past

In recent years Seasonal Displays have significantly added to the visual impact : Chistmas tree & snowman, Easter bunny & chick, Halloween witch,cats & bats, Rememberance poppy and Viking warriers  - Intent is to provide an enhanced display area by moving existing hanging basket frame and installing new metal frame to secure displays onto as well as installing ducting for lighting cables and slabs for easy access to display area

In addition install signage to promote Largs Community Council and notify public of "What's Going On" in Largs thoughout the year (sign to have changeable notice board section)
