<p>SHED is part of Community Roots in West Kilbride which also runs the Village Larder, a subsidised food with dignity project. We have a community garden in the center of West Kilbride and host a drop-in social gardening day once a week there. We have been developing this garden for fruit and vegetable growing so that we can learn how to grow food whilst recognising the mental and physical health benefits of gardening together. Most of what we produce goes to our Village Larder to be accessed for free by our customers there, and some of it is a healthy reward for our hard working volunteers. Our aims are to make healthy food more accessible and create a buzz in the area about the benefits to our health and environment by growing our own food.&nbsp; In the upcoming year we want to further develop our Community Garden and facilitate food growing in people&#39;s own gardens by providing materials, plants and practical support. We trialed offering some plants to our Village Larder customers this summer with great success and think that we can advertise and distribute well from there, with additional advertising of the project on our social media platforms and contacts. We think this will build our connections with people in WK and be the start of a rolling project over the seasons with continual support and materials offered. People will be asked when signing up f they prefer large trugs, 15litre potted veg gardens, or pop up fabric planters and what plants they want to grow from a list. We will have cards to give out with info on growing each plant, fertiliser for the season, canes and ties etc. They will be invited to sow the seeds in our polytunnel on drop in days to see where it all begins and this will introduce people to our growing community. This project will be especially useful for people who aspire to grow but don&#39;t know where to start, people who can&#39;t afford things like soil and fertiliser to sustain crops once established (which is expensive, expanding education on food and its origins, and people who are not able to access the drop in sessions that are keen to connect and grow.&nbsp;</p>

<header> <p>The core purpose of The Arran Pioneer Project CIC&nbsp;is to regenerate Scotland&#39;s wild and natural landscapes in a way that incorporates our rural communities while securing jobs and livelihoods for young people. We help to coordinate research, facilitate training, employment and community engagement to develop circular economy and local opportunities to assist as we move towards a just and nature rich future and transition to net-zero.</p> <section> <section> <p>We engage with local communities to determine their priorities for land use, help them to envisage how to use land within their village or community, and turn these ideas into action. We combine heritage and tradition with innovation to find sustainable and regenerative solutions to empower our communities to tackle the issues they are facing.</p> </section> <section> <section id="two"> <section> <p>Our team helps to design and plan uses for community land before helping to make these ideas happen on the ground. We develop practical routes to increase the opportunities for localised food production, increased biodiversity, and vibrant and viable communities within our local, regional and national plans for a self sufficient and sustainable future.</p> </section> </section> </section> </section> </header>

<p>We wish to purchase waterproof&nbsp;suits and footwear for all children in our Early Years&nbsp;as we want every child to have access to outdoors in all weathers.&nbsp; Outdoor Learning&nbsp;enhances&nbsp;health and wellbeing and educational experiences.&nbsp; It supports&nbsp;mental, emotional, physical and&nbsp;social development and allows children to thrive in a stimulating and natural environment.&nbsp; Furthermore, accessing the outdoors supports the development of&nbsp;literacy and numeracy skills and enables them to be practised in a real and meaningful context.&nbsp;&nbsp;To ensure all children have the opportunity to learn outdoors throughout the year,&nbsp;and that families are not impacted by the cost of wellies or waterproofs, we wish to provide these within the EYC.</p>
