<p>Irvine Pipe Band would like to get new equipment for training and uniforms for members of the band who are not able to afford their own equipment. The project will link people up from all walks of life including New Scots as well as others from across North Ayrshire who share a passion for Scottish music. The band provides an opportunity for people to boost their mental health and wellbeing by making new friends and taking up an instrument completely free of charge.</p>

Recovery Rejoice - An Alcohol & Drug Free Celebration
No comments Irvine
<p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">After discussions with a number of individuals & organisations, we are seeking funding support to host a heartwarming and inclusive festive event aimed at individuals in recovery from addiction, offering them a safe and joyful space to celebrate Christmas and New Year without the influence of alcohol or drugs. For many in recovery, the holiday season can be a challenging and isolating time, often spent alone. Our event aims to change that narrative, bringing people together to share the spirit of the season in a supportive and nurturing environment. Through music, games, and activities that foster connection and friendship, we aspire to create lasting memories and a renewed sense of hope. This event will not only light up the holiday season for those who need it most but also reinforce the importance of recovery and community. With your support, we can make this festive season truly special, empowering individuals in recovery to embark on a brighter, healthier journey into the new year.</span></span></span></p>

Whiting Bay Primary Parent Council Sensory Garden
No comments Arran
<p>Sensory gardens include features, surfaces, objects and plants that stimulate our senses through touch, sight, scent, taste and hearing.</p> <p>They are places that can be designed with many different purposes in mind. They can be calming with scented plants and restful seating, an area for growing tasty food and for wildlife friendly plants, a therapeutic space for children and a learning zone full of exciting things to touch and smell.</p> <p>Sensory gardens are of great benefit to children's health and well-being, the seasonal aspect of growing is educational and the validation in seeing your hard work come to fruition is wonderful. Starting children on their ecologically friendly through life.</p>
Corsehill Retirement Club
No comments Kilwinning
<p>Corsehill Retirement Club meet weekly throughout the year and help older people come together to enjoy many activities, including celebrating national events and holidays. We are a club which is open to anyone over 55 and retired from employment. We have educational activities, along with games and fun activities. This ensures that older people are not isolated, helping to combat loneliness and keeping them connected to their communities. One of the events particularly enjoyed by the members is celebrating Burns Day, with haggis, neeps and tatties, speeches and toasting the Bard with a dram, usually involving a piper and a wee dance. We are looking for funding to help us put this event on and try to have as many people as want to come. This funding would be used to pay for the meals, toasts, and venue. We also need a new laptop, which helps with the functioning of the club and allows our older members have access to the internet if required, keeping them connected with modern day living. We rely on our weekly fees to pay for events, etc so cannot manage to do many in the year. Additional funding will help to allow us to celebrate Burns Day. </p>
