West Kilbride Village Gala is an annual event that has been running for over 60 years and provides an opportunity to bring the community of West Kilbride together. We hire in a variety of fun equipment and rides and offer reduced cost wristbands for unlimited use to ensure that these are accessible to all regardless of financial situation.  The Gala provides the people of West Kilbride with an opportunity to socialise and enjoy themselves, promoting community cohesion, health and wellbeing and tackling social isolation.

In addition to the fun equipment and rides there are a range of stalls e.g., tea room, bbq, bottle stall, cake and candy, bric-a-brac, hook a duck and lucky dip and much more.  These activities take place in two large marquees, which require to be stored throughout the year.  We are seeking funding to purchase storage cages for the marquees (which are also used by other community groups), storage boxes and ground mats.  As the storage cages are on wheels this will allow easier transport of the marquees.

The Function Suite, while forming part of the building at Ardrossan Indoor Bowling Club is utilised in a totally separate manner. The Function Suite provides a Cafe, which provides meals to eat in or take away.

Cafe Solace Kilbirnie and Kilbirnie and Glengarnock Community Association are starting a community garden where the food grown will be used to make our low cost, nutritious meals at the community centre, we are also looking to install security cameras and install addional parking facillities.

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.

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.

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.

We would like funding to purchase a new defibrillator to assist with our community resilience volunteer programme. Volunteers will learn how to use it, developing their skills and building confidence.
