Douglas Park Project
20 comments 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.
Digitisation of Collections
17 comments 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.

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.
