We would like to have a free bite to eat during each group as this is something that we are often asking for. The Legacy Centre currently runs a group on a sunday “Food chat and chill” which is one of our most popular groups and provides young people with a free hot meal. This has shown us that other young people as well as ourselves benefit from a free meal and snack while we are at the youth group during the week. We would like there to be a choice of tuckshop sweets for young people to choose one per night and a range of juice for young people to access. We would also like to stock a range of noodles for young people to have when they are visiting. 

£250 - tuckshop snacks 

£250 - juice 

£500 - noodles 

We would like to hold a conference at the Portal in Irvine to provide training for over 200 Young Ambassadors from S1-6 supported by Active Schools Staff which enables them to provide sporting opportunities within their school extra curricular programmes and within their localties, working with local sport clubs and partners. (Hire of the portal - £400)

We would like to purchase t-shirts and badges supported by Active Schools staff, so that our 200 plus young people have a sense on belonging and can be identifed at extra curricular clubs and events and also within our local commuinities (Tshirts - £400, Badges - £200). 

Our programme will help young people confidence, commuincation skills, leadership skills, team work, problem solving and its really fun to be part of.  

We would like to bid for £1000, as we would like to buy these materials to help deliver our lunchtime mindfulness club.  Each week we would like to offer mini projects using specific art materials to help achieve the best outcomes and various techniques to help young peoples mental health through art mindfulness sessions. We would like to showcase our work and on twitter to show the community all the fantastic work we achieve .

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.
