3 teams from the Isle of Arran will travel to the mainland to compete in 3 different competitive tournaments. Young people from Arran rarely get the opportunity to play competitive sport, down to the lack of teams on the Isle of Arran, as well as the challenges around travel. We’re thrilled to be able to offer this to over 50 young people on the island.
To be able to do this, we’d need financial support for the following –
Transport costs (Bus/Boat) - £250 per match
Referee hire - £50 per match
Equipment (bibs/balls/cones/kit) - £100
Sports Council
2023-09-15 • No comments • • Irvine
We would like to provide sports clothing to the young people in the Irvine area to allow them to have access to free sporting sessions. As a Sports Council we provide a range of the activities (most are not at capacity) but we currently cannot provide the sports kit to allow some young people the ability to access. We feel under capacity is likely to be due to them not having kit.
Cheap dri-fit sports tshirts = approx £6 -7 per item.
Cheap dri-fit sports shorts =approx £7 per item
We would look to help up to 100-120 pupils and would look to variety of sellers to try and get best deal. From our inital research we can buy this for reasonable price and we would go for best, and cheapest, to get us the most amount of items.
This will then allow them to access the 12-15 sports clubs that we run.

To fund our production, we would kindly ask for:
- Licence to hire show - £500
- Digital Projection Licence - £360
- 20 Actor scripts - £140
This would enable us to pay for the full script and musical score for our production. We would then be able to provide every pupil involved with their own Actors script to work from during rehearsals.

Our Transition Programme is split into 3.
- Good Start Gift Bags
- Potted Sports Event
- Transition Disco
The Parent Council aims to support all children transitioning from primary school into Ardrossan Academy, we work in close partnership with the school to enhance opportunities for our young people. Last year the newly appointed Parent Council recognised the struggles of the cost of the school day following covid and the current cost of living crisis, the is where the idea for the 'Good Start Gift Bag' came from. It ensured equality across the whole of the year group as all pupils were issued with the Bag containing school essentials.
The bag itself is a drawstring PE kit bag,it contains a pencil case with pens, pencils, ruler, rubber, sharpener and highlighter, a reusable tub for HE lessons, a scientific calculator and a Spanish dictionary. The cost per bag is £15. The bag is gifted in May/June 2024.
The potted sports event takes place in the astro area of Ardrossan Academy, this event promotes team building and developing friendships. The children are split into their "house" which allows them to meet peers from other primary schools prior to attending classes with them. The cost of this event is £600, this covers the cost of equipment and refreshments on the day. This event takes place in May/June 2024.
The transition disco allows the children to meet in a much more relaxed environment and gives them another opportunity to meet the pupils the will be in classes with. The costs included in this event are dj hire and refreshments which are approximately £600. The transition disco will be in June 2024.
The estimated cost of the entire transition project is approximately £3000, depending on where we can source the best price for the items we require for the bags. We hope to recieve the full £1000 available from this application and will hold other fundraising events.

Activities for young people on Arran
2023-09-15 • No comments • • Arran
AYF provides lunchtime drop-in at the high school & weekly clubs. These include lacrosse, music jam, guitar tuition, art psychotherapy, girls football, P7 club & youth club. We also provide activities in school holidays including go-karting, paintball, Flip Out, Alton Towers. Funding would support this & ensure our activities remain free to young people. As young people involvement is such a key part of AYF, young people engaged in the project will have a say on how funds would be spent, but costs might include c. £500 on equipment (new Xbox/Switch/Playstation games, board/card games, lacrosse gear, etc) and c. £500 on activities (trips to football matches, cooking ingredients, hall/astro hire for Friday nights etc)

We would like to develop the area for forest school, allowing the family learning programme to continue, with den making, outdoor cooking and growing. The following items would be required: Outdoor tarpaulens £100, den-making kit £120, discovery table £250, explorer kits £150, outdoor cooking equipment £180, outdoor storage £200. This would allow the pupils to utilise these facilities in their learning and in their playtime. In addition, with coordination from the eco group and family learning, they will be able to continue with learning for sustainability and allowing parents/ carers and siblings to access these lessons as after school workshops. These have been very successful in the past at bringing our school community together, but requires some additional funding for the resources. Unfortunately, some our outdoor features were vandalised recently and now need to be secured in outdoor storage.

Our Fun time Playground

The children of Woodlands Primary have taken a vote and decided that they would like to have our markings in the playgound renewed as most have worn away. When speaking with them they have spoken out to wanting more activites that they can do within the sports element, this way it helps keeping them healthy by being active which also helps in the mental well being.
The kids have asked for Netball court to be painted as well as other amazing educational markings and games that could help with the younger end of the school.
We are still waiting to hear from contractors for the pricing and costs for the paint and labour to make this amazing project possible for the kids at Woodlands Primary

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
Total cost - £1350.00
Ardrossan Winton Rovers 2010 Holland Tournament

The cost of the trip is £449.00 per person which includes Transport, Accommodation on half board basis. We have 16 boys and 4 coaches signed up along with an additional 19 family members who are making the trip to support the boys. The total cost of the trip for the team is £8980.00 plus £8531.00 for the additional family members. It is our intention to fundraise to reduce the total cost for families to make this affordable and inclusive to all. The current cost of living crisis makes it increasingly difficult for community groups to raise funds to create these opportunities.
