The project is to fund a whole school trip for the all the pupils who attend Dreghorn Primary School, this includes the EYC, ESR pupils and pupils in Primaries 1-7. We want to provide an fun local outdoor trip for Summer Term 2024  which will consolidate and enhance the learning from within the school environment and make memories that will last a lifetime.

In the spirit of collaboration and in support for the Community Wealth Building approach we are in discussions with local Ayrshire companies to arrange a suitable venue that can accommodate the whole school group paying particular attention to the additional requirements for our pupils within our ESR.

The cost of the whole school trip is split into 2 parts 

1) Transportation of pupils - buses. Approx cost £500. We want to endorse North Ayrshire Community Wealth Building approach and support local transport businesses within North Ayrshire.

2) Venue cost - covering the cost of the pupils, carers and as the risk assessment  states the  required teacher/helper  to child ratio cost.  Approx cost £500.

  • The girls are beginning to represent their community at wider events and we would like a unit flag which costs £91 for these events.
  • The current hall cost is £88 a year 
  • End-of-year badge cost per girl £20
  • Craft budget £150

We would also like to seek funding to organise a camping trip for the girls. Due to the small nature of the group, we have not had the funding opportunity to arrange an end-of-year trip. The cost per girl would be £50, this would be a total cost of £600 to stay at the Blair activity centre with 3 leaders. This is the minimum cost as we would need funding for food £150, resources £200 and badges £30. 

We are asking for £1,000 to help cover the costs of our budget for our small local unit to the end of the year.

5th Dreghorn Brownies and Guides

2023-09-09  •  No comments  •  Vickie  •  Irvine

Team building helps to build skills that are useful for the girls now but also skills the girls can take into their adult lives. Team building helps to develop problem solving skills, bring out leadership qualities, encourage creative thinking, as well as helping to improve listening qualities in girls. Girls have a tough time as teenagers as well as preteens so even small wins boost self esteem and develop self confidence. The range of activities also help to show that not every girl has the same set of skills but every girl has a skill. This would be a great opportunity to help develop empathy as where one girl excels in one activity she may struggle with another. These are all skills that are important not just for now but for later in life, we as guiding leaders try to develop these qualities week to week however days out like this allow the girls to express their self and really show what they are made of, what they are good at and what they would like to be good at. 

Costs

Cost per girl/leader - £25.00

24 Brownies - 24 Guides - 6 Leaders - £1321.20

Team building badge - £0.60 

48 Badges - £28.80

Extended Pathway and disabled ramp access

2023-09-13  •  No comments  •  Irvine Cricket Club  •  Irvine

Our car park is hardcore and is regularly flooding and is very uneven. Families use this car park to attend cricket matches and training nights. To make it easier for access to our grounds we are looking to extend a current pathway that starts at our building deep into the existing car park area in order for families to reverse park cars and remove wheelchairs , prams from car boots etc and have an easier walk and far safer entrance into our area. It will also means everyone arrives dry and clean which makes it easier as well. We will also be building a ramp access into our changing rooms and toilet area for families and wheelchair users to access without having to go across to our main sports club building. The cost will be £1850 for the ramp, pathway construction including materials and labour. We have £1000 raised towards this project and would like to apply for £850.

Irvine Meadow 2009

As a club we are always trying to improve the opportunities available to the children however we are constantly coming up against financial barriers due to the rising costs of hiring pitches, referee fees, coaches education and general equipment. We are currently raising money to take the team to a football tournament in Blackpool during the easter weekend 2024 which is a 3 night stay including 2 days of football for the children. This is a great opportunity for the team to socialise and have a weekend with their family and friends whilst playing competitive football.  Being accepted for this grant would help us reach our target ensuring that no boy misses out due to the cost for their family. The club are trying to cover the cost of the boys to reduce the amount that families need to pay however if we manage to raise more then we can reduce the costs further for families.

Cost of tournament fee - £140

Cost of accommodation for players - £2588

Cost of accommodation including parents - £6628
