Digitisation of Collections
17 comments 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.

Arran Churches Together (ACT) Food Bank
No comments Arran
Arran Churches Together Food Bank was set up in 2011 when a concerned resident made a local minister aware that a local family had struggled to put food on the table during the Christmas period. No-one should experience food or fuel poverty however there are more than 2,000 foodbanks across the UK supporting those in need. Our foodbank on Arran provides emergency food for local people who require additional support. The Arran foodbank is independent and requires no referral - anonimity and dignity are very important and can be a problem, particularly in rural communities. The food bank can be accessed in the vestibule of Brodick Church which is open 24/7. The ACT Foodbank is the only foodbank on Arran. Our island can be a costly place to live - lack of affordable housing pushes many families into private lets which can be costly; there is no mains gas on the island, homes are heated by electricity, oil, wood or coal; food shopping is done at either local village shops or Co-op supermarket, there is no option to shop in budget supermarkets. We are aware that in recent times, there are families on Arran with people in employment having to use the foodbank
Our local supermarket displays a basket for collection of donated long life food items - these are collected by volunteers who use them to keep the food bank shelves, at Brodick Church, well stocked. Although the Arran community continue to be generous with donations, the volunteers often have to buy food to keep things topped up. Money used for these shops is taken from a fund made up of monetary donations from local individuals and organisations. However the increased cost of food shopping, means we are going through this fund very quickly.

Dalry Community Development Hub (Community Garden)
No comments Garnock Valley
The Community Garden was established during lockdown when we were able to work outdoors and socialy distance.
Over the last 3 years we have welcomed many visitors, gained new trustees, work with various groups including the schools, hosting and organising events.
We grow produce which goes back to the community helping with the cost of living.
We offer teas and coffees and plenty chat as the last three years have had a devastating effect on people's mental heath and wellbeing.
