LMC offers an informal setting for amateur musicians to meet on a regular basis and encourage one another to improve their skill level on their preferred musical instrument.

The newly created Skelmorlie Community Garden space is looking beautiful. We would like to install a little library for book sharing in the community, to increase use of the garden.

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.

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.

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.

A group of volunteers took over the care of flower beds, signage, upkeep of paths, upgrading of fencing, the creation of fairy paths, bug hotel at Douglas Park in Largs.In May 2020 no flowers or plants were visible in the park. Within a few weeks all previous flowerbeds were opened and new bulbs, plants installed. An 'adopt a flower bed scheme' was launched and individuals, local businesses, local groups like the Foccrs, Largs Youth Theatre, Largs Flower Club and the Nazarene Church had adopted and taken over the care of the beds along with the support of  a group of committee members and friends. The gardens at Douglas Park have been transformed and paving work upgraded, the firechip to all the paths was renewed and painting of fencing, benches and metal surrounds also took place. However we need to continue our upgrading and maintenance to ensure the park continues to bloom.

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

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.
