1st Largs Boys' Brigade (BB) has been serving the community of Largs and the surrounding villages since 1892. We currently have over 90 Boys enrolled in the Company, who are looked after by our amazing team of leaders and helper, all who give up their time free of charge.  Throughout our history we have always taken our Boys Camping and next year will be the same, where we are taking part in the North Ayrshire Battalion Camp in Kirkham.

The Showtime Youth Theatre Fundraising Committee is operated by parents who joined the Committee on a voluntary basis to enable the young people to participate in theatre productions. The Showtime Youth Theatre is open to young people with all abilities and from all backgrounds from 3-18 years old in Ayrshire.

The classes and productions assist the young people to develop core life skills, social skills, better agility, making exercise fun as well as building trust, confidence, self motivation, self esteem and communication skills – a variety of physical and non physical wellbeing benefits. This supports our young people through taking part in drama, acting, dance, wellbeing, singing and public speaking events to further enhance their positive thoughts about their self worth and life experiences.

We are a relatively new club on the Island, and we are growing in numbers by the week.

We have spoken to the kids of woodlands and they would like to have the playground markings renewed as they have all worn away. They want more activites added so we can play more out side sports for their mental well being and with keeping active.

We are a girl-guiding unit for girls aged 14-18. The group currently consists of nine girls who have been dedicated to girl guiding since they were 5 years old. The girls follow a programme of skill-builder badges in themes such as camping, communication and first aid. Our programme of interest badges, skill builders and awards support these young women to try new things, travel the world and develop skills across our six themes. Many of the girls are young leaders for local rainbows and brownies and are working on building their CVs for their future careers. Rangers is about taking the lead and finding new challenges. It can be seen as a rare sight to see young people engaged in helping their community and we wish to continue seeking opportunities to help the girls grow. This group of girls have excelled as role models to the young girl-guiding community from helping with trips to inspiring them to be themselves. The girls have been allowed to advocate for the issues in the world around them and educate future generations. This is only possible with funding to develop these ambitious and driven young women.

The project will give young people on the island a chance to try curling with the support of Millport Curling Club

The children of Moorpark are opening a bike shed that fixes broken bikes for free for the children in the school and the local community. £1000 will buy the metal shed for the children to work from, tools so they have the right equipment to fix the bikes and safety equipment to ensure the children can safely carry out the work.

The SAS explorer scout unit is based in the scout hall, Kilmeny Terrace, Ardrossan. The unit covers the three towns and is open to anybody who wishes to join. The unit takes part in scouting activities and adventurous activities including archery, kayaking and paddle boarding. The leaders of the unit are qualified instructors in the aforementioned activities. The unit runs these activities for other groups within North Ayrshire who do not have access to equipment or instructors.
