Outside in all weathers.

2023-09-07 No comments St Luke's Early Years Class - Parent Council Kilwinning

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

Love hall Christmas December 2024

2023-08-29 No comments June Mckirdy Kilwinning

We are a local voluntary run community hall open to all and would like to hold a Christmas fayre this year with treats and gifts for the local community. Our hall is open to a and caters for all ages and abilities and we would like to do something for our members and those local to the hall this year. As corsehill is a socially deprived area cost of living has hit our area hard and many children and families will not get to attend the traditional Christmas fayres and activities due to the entry fees and costs of activities once arrived. We want our community to enjoy the festivities this year and have a respite from the stress that this time of year can bring for many families and individuals. We also want to bring the community closer together and see this event and the start of hall being the centre of our community again as we strive to bring it back to its former glory.

2023-09-15 No comments largsdementiafriendly@gmail.com UK Shared Prosperity Fund PB

The Virtual Dementia Tour is the only scientifically and medically proven method of giving a person with a healthy brain the experience of what dementia might be like. Invented over 23 years ago in America, the virtual Dementia Tour has been experienced by over 5 million people in 22 countries. The Virtual Dementia Tour has been available in the Uk for over 6 years and over 1 million people have participated in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Some of the organisation that have accessed this training are care providers, NHS trusts, Councils , Fire Services, Police, Prisons, Universities and many more. This inspirational training is changing the lives of so many including the amazing people that support people with dementia. When a person that has dementia has finally been diagnosed, we must give the support team around them a true understanding of what they are experiencing and what they experience during their future dementia journey. The Virtual Dementia Tour is a vital bridge to entering their world, it is unlike any training course available and challenges the misconceptions surrounding dementia. The Virtual Dementia Tour is available for your staff, families and anyone that comes in to direct or indirect contact with people living with dementia.

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.
