2 comments North Coast
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Installation of replacement electrical system for Yuletide lights in Ritchie Street and Main Street West Kilbride Ayrshire. Work is required because the existing electrical system which has been in place for many years no longer complies with current electrical regulations as recently intimated by NAC Building Services.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">New/replacement connections need to be provided from a number of premises in the village and the external wall cabling needs to be replaced as it is over 25 years old. Without this work taking place there will no longer be street lighting motifs for Yuletide activities in West Kilbride much to the detriment of community wellbeing.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If this project doesn't go ahead there will be no Yuletide street lights this year in West Kilbride for the first time in over 25 years.</span></span></p>
Digitisation of Collections
17 comments North Coast
<p>Largs Museum has a wonderful collection of Art, Artifacts, Photographs and Postcards, many of which are over 100 years old. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> All of the musuem's collections relate to our local heritage such as artifacts, events, people and places. </p> <p>As an independent museum run by volunteers we are funded mainly by donations from visitors to the museum.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Clyde Coast & Cumbraes Mens Shed Growth
4 comments North Coast
<p>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. </p>

Coffee Cadenzas - Community Coffee Concert Series!
1 comment North Coast
<p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> <p>'Coffee Cadenzas' is a community project with the aim to bring members of the community together through the joy of art and music.<br /> We are proposing an 8-week coffee concert series, starting on the 21st of October 2023 and ending on the 16th of December 2023.<br /> The concerts will be held in the main gallery of the Barony Centre, West Kilbride. This is an opportunity for audience members to connect with others, support local venues such as the Barony Centre and experience arts and culture in the local community. All concerts will be every Saturday from 10:15am - 12:15pm, commencing in October.</p> <p>What will it look like:<br /> Members of the public will have free access to the Barony Centre and will enjoy the immersive experience of sound and visual arts work harmoniously together. All whilst networking with other members of the community of all ages over a cup of coffee from the Barony Cafe.<br /> We want to break the restrictions of classical traditions and offer members of the public the choice of how they want to experience the event. This will be freedom of movement, providing areas where participants can talk, solely listen to the music or find a quiet corner to reflect.</p> <p>Supporting this project will allow members of the public to access arts and culture for free, breaking down the barriers often experienced for those accessing the arts. The overall project will offer health and wellbeing benefits to the communty, by providing a hub for socialisation and connection in the local area. </p>
