To help them Zen out, we would like to offer a club where pupils can bring their lunch and possibly use art and Design materials to creatively engage in mindful activities, such as ; drawing , painting , character design, fashion design, photography, printmaking and model making.</span></span></p>

<p>Barnardo&#39;s works with young people across North Ayrshire in a variety of services. We would like to take the young people to a Pantomime this Christmas as their Christmas activity. We did this last year with non-recurring funding so this year we are looking for support as the young people that attended last year had such a good time, they got out the house, socialised and made new friends, and had a laugh. We will take the young people for dinner before the Panto and make them up a snack bag for the show. This activity will help young people with their mential health and wellbeing and social isolation. Dates for this years Pantomime are from 1st December to 7th January.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Castlepark Primary School Parent Council are applying for funding to support the running of the schools&nbsp;Breakfast Club.</p>

<p>As a Sports Council we would like to support young people in the Irvine Area participate in Sport and Physical Activitiy and increase the number of people who participate in sport.&nbsp; We are a group of 14-17 year old young people who have had some great experiences and opportunties in Sport of our own and we want to help others have this too.&nbsp; We have personally seen that sport can help with our&nbsp;physical, mental, social and emotional wellbeing and we&nbsp;strongly believe that all young people should have the access to physical activity to help improve their own wellbeing.&nbsp; One of the barriers for young people to take part in sport is the access to sports kit and the access to free sport sessions.&nbsp; As a Sports Council we already offer free sessions (in a variety of different activities) but the young children who we see often don&#39;t have a tshirt / shorts etc often miss out or are embarrassed that they don&#39;t have sports clothing and therefore don&#39;t come to clubs.&nbsp; By having sports kit to give out, this will hopefully remove that financial barrier and make sport more accessible for all and allow us to create a sports community with strong representation and identity. The target group for this support would be 12 &amp; 13 year olds in the Irvine area.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the success of our school&#39;s program&nbsp;and Easter&nbsp;and Sumner camps we now&nbsp;have more kids and families using our facilities. To improve the area and make it easier for disabled and small kids in prams we are looking to extend a pathway into the main car park area and make ramp access into our dressing rooms and toilet area.</p>
