Clyde Coast & Cumbraes Mens Shed Growth

4 comments treasurer.cccmensshed North Coast

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.

Largs Community Council Garden Enhancements

No comments Robbie Stevenson North Coast

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)

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.

No comments largsdementiafriendly@gmail.com 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.
