The project will give young people on the island a chance to try curling with the support of Millport Curling Club
Description
Millport Curling Club would like to give young people on the island an opportunity to experience the sport of curling by arranging test sessions for 10-12 year-olds at a mainland ice rink. It’s challenging for young islanders to participate, given the need to travel off-island and the expense involved so we will arrange bus transport and professional coaching at a curling rink for a group of 10-12 year-olds to inspire and encourage them to get involved in the sport. Millport Curling club members will host the away-days, together with Cumbrae Primary School teaching staff and professional coaches, at Greenacres Ice Rink. The project will improve the health and well-being of young participants through physical activity and social connection and the funding will address the Cost of Living crisis by making the activity financially accessible for all youngsters who wish to take part.
Estimated costs for 2 sessions of 12 participants:
Ferry & Bus: £600
Venue fees (Ice/coaching): £300
Total: £900
Location: We’re the Millport Curling Club, a small club on the Isle of Cumbrae, aiming to introduce more local people to the sport and to promote curling among our young people on the island. We've been working closely with Cumbrae Primary School to develop this project.
Proposed on behalf of: We've co-ordinated with Cumbrae Primary School as ferry times are too restrictive for the event to take place in the evening
