<p>North Ayrshire Active Girls Committee is a new group made up of young females from all localities in North Ayrshire. As a group we focus on empowering young females through sport and leadership.&nbsp;</p> <p>Our Key Principles are:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li><strong>Valuing Girls&#39; Voices&nbsp;</strong></li> <li><strong>Promoting Peer Role Models&nbsp;</strong></li> <li><strong>Co-creating Projects&nbsp;</strong></li> <li><strong>Celebrating Unstoppable Girls&nbsp;</strong></li> </ul> <p>Through following these key principles we hope to have the impact that young girls and females in sport can feel that they have a voice within their community, help make decisions in sport and feel unstoppable. Furthermore, we aim for this committee to help increase:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Increased opportunities&nbsp;to participate in sport and physical activity</strong></li> <li><strong>Improved access to leadership opportunities and roles&nbsp;in school and community sport</strong></li> <li><strong>Greater recognition of the power of girls to motivate and inspire their peers and more opportunities to do so</strong></li> <li><strong>Enhanced knowledge and understanding of workforce delivering PE, sport and physical activity to girls and young women</strong></li> </ul>

<p>With the success of our school&#39;s program&nbsp;and Easter&nbsp;and Sumner camps we now&nbsp;have more kids and families using our facilities. To improve the area and make it easier for disabled and small kids in prams we are looking to extend a pathway into the main car park area and make ramp access into our dressing rooms and toilet area.</p>

<p>Ardrossan Winton Rovers Youth Academy&nbsp;2010 team&nbsp;are&nbsp;particpating in a&nbsp;football tournament located in Holland during Easter&nbsp;2024.&nbsp; This is an amazing opportunity for our team to create memories with their friends and families&nbsp;whilst enjoying the sport they love.&nbsp; The boys are looking forward to playing against other teams from around the world and to learn new skills.</p>

<p>We wish to apply for funding to purchase new tennis nets, rackets and balls to enhance our new Tennis courts that are nearly at the completion stage. Over the years we have successfully ran tennis summer camps at the club with the small pop up nets on our astro turf. The camps have always been busy and the particapants have had a great time. The funding will allow us to invest in new equiptment for the community to use during the year as we will now run a year long tennis programme. The new courts will be the only tennis courts in Kilwinning and are bound to be a hit given our past track record of delievering successfull projects. we are in the process of forming a constitued Tennis Club who will use this funding to go from strenght to strength.</p>

<p>We as young ambassadors at Ardrossan Academy would like to apply for funding towards our extra curricular clubs equipment. We have a variety of clubs going on within the school for all ages however the lack of equipment means we are limited to how many kids can take part and what sports they can be offered. Alot of&nbsp;the equipment is dated and in need of replacement. This new equipment would allow for more pupils to get involved in sport who do not get the opportunity out with of school. The cost of local clubs means some of our pupils don&#39;t get the chance to try different sports and the volunteers/teachers within the school who co-ordinate the clubs need some support with this equipment fund.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Enhancing the outdoor space available at Dykesmains, we would like to support the Eco Committee in further developing the outdoor areas, including the outdoor classroom and spaces for lessons in sustainability and with the family learning team.</p>
