St Winin’s Over 60’S Club

No comments Anne Marie McMillan Kilwinning

St Winin’s Over 60’S  Club meets each Thursday throughout the year to allow older people to connect with others and enjoy a whole range of engaging and fun activities.  The club aims to reduce social isolation and provide a safe and welcoming space where older people feel included and valued.  Our club encourages group members to meet new people, enjoy a chat in the good company of others. The club is open to anyone over the age of 60 and has a long standing commitment to supporting older people in the local community that spans over 30 years.  The club recently celebrated our 30th anniversary in March 2023.   Our weekly meetings take in St Winnins church hall and this incurs a weekly letting fee of £50. Due to the cost living crisis, we are unable to ask any more than a minimal weekly fee from our group members.  These weekly fees help pay for tea/coffee/ biscuits which are offered each week. We are looking for funding to help us pay for the ongoing costs of this weekly letting fees.  In addition, our group particularly enjoys hosting a variety of seasonal celebrations. These promote the positive health and wellbeing of our group members, raise spirits and provide lots of good fun.  We would like to seek funding to enable us to hold a Burns Supper in the New Year.  This would include the cost of catering, decorations, music and hall let.

West Kilbride Yuletide Festival and Xmas lights

WK Yuletide Group - Replacement of electrical system for Xmas lights

2 comments Stuart Fyfe North Coast

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.

As part of our project to make the club inclusive to all a disabled toilet has been installed.  To facilitate wheelchair access from the new annex to the toilet, the doorway requires widening and a new door put in.

 I would like to set up a social group for adults that meets regularly at the Ardrossan Church of the Nazarene. This will provide a space and time for people to relax, socialise and have a bit of fun.
