<p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Our football team plays a crucial role in promoting health, wellbeing and social inclusion.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s a critical age for children to begin experimenting with alcohol and smoking but&nbsp;having a focus with our team helps to support the boys make positive decisions. We have a range of families in our team, some from deprived areas and a family from Ukraine. Being a part of our team has helped reduce social barriers for these boys and ensure they have a sense of belonging whilst also supporting one of the boys learn to speak English.&nbsp; They are also learning to work positively as part of a team and respect which they take into their daily lives at school and at home with their families.&nbsp; We promote healthy choices as a team and as a result of this many of the boys have joined the gym and attend regularly to keep improving their fitness levels and socialise with one another.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Our dedicated coaches volunteer a large amount of time to the team for training, matches and all the organising&nbsp;that goes on in the background.</span></span></span></p>

<p>5th Dreghorn Brownies and Guides Group</p> <p>We as a unit meet every Thursday night in the community centre in Dreghorn. We try to have as much fun as we can while the girls learn life skills and gain badges. Between the Brownies and the Guides we have 48 girls as well as 6 leaders. We would like to take the whole group on a team building day to Craufurdland Castle in Kilmarnock to carry out a team building day. Activities would range from Archery to tree top trials. With this funding it would ensure that all our girls could attend the day out regardless of social circumstances. Being together as a whole group is important to us and this is our chance to do that.</p>
