Largs Green Futures
No comments 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.

Tai -Chi
No comments North Coast
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.

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.
