Douglas Park in the sunshine, Summer of 2023

Douglas Park Project

2023-09-11 20 comments Angela O'Keefe North Coast

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.

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.

Digitisation of Collections

2023-09-09 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.

West Kilbride Yuletide

2023-09-14 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.
