<p>We are a small group of parents and carers of children attending Ardrossan Academy.&nbsp; We enjoy supporting the pupils in school and supporting other activities.</p> <p>Following the success of last year&#39;s transition events, we would like to continue with the &#39;Good Start Gift Bag&#39;, potted sports event and disco. Funding would be used to purchase school essentials for every pupil entering S1, as well as the costs of two events; equipment, medals, dj, refreshments, decorations. Please vote for us to support our children and young people.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>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&nbsp;well being and with keeping active.</p>

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

<p>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. &pound;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.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Scottish Sports Futures (SSF) are looking to apply for additional funds to support the ongoing delivery of our Active2Grow programme in partnership with the Ghillie Dhu Project. The Active:2:Grow programme currently supports care experienced young people through mental health and wellbeing provision. However, as this project only currently funds staff costs, this is in desperate need of additional resources to support the young people which it engages with on a weekly basis.</p> <p>The funds applied for will contribute directly towards additional resources for the young people, allowing us to further provide much needed wellbeing support for children most in need.</p> <p>These resources will include winter giftbags and wellbeing boxes for all young people attending the sessions, a sports kitbag and a &lsquo;broadening horizon activity&rsquo;. This activity will consisted of encouraging young people to take on new experiences, build their confidence/resilience, and widen their support networks within their local communities.</p> <p>These funds will allow us to provide resources to some of the young people most in need on this support across the locality, ensuring that we can continue to provide tailored and person-centred mental health and wellbeing support, while also building closer connections to the wider communities.</p>
