Our football team plays a crucial role in promoting health, wellbeing and social inclusion.  It’s a critical age for children to begin experimenting with alcohol and smoking but having a focus with our team helps to support the boys make positive decisions. We have a range of families in our team, some from deprived areas and a family from Ukraine. Being a part of our team has helped reduce social barriers for these boys and ensure they have a sense of belonging whilst also supporting one of the boys learn to speak English.  They are also learning to work positively as part of a team and respect which they take into their daily lives at school and at home with their families.  We promote healthy choices as a team and as a result of this many of the boys have joined the gym and attend regularly to keep improving their fitness levels and socialise with one another.

Our dedicated coaches volunteer a large amount of time to the team for training, matches and all the organising that goes on in the background.

Ardrossan Parent Council

No comments Ardrossan Parent Council Three Towns

We are a small group of parents and carers of children attending Ardrossan Academy.  We enjoy supporting the pupils in school and supporting other activities.

Following the success of last year's transition events, we would like to continue with the 'Good Start Gift Bag', 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.

To support the children's mental health and well-being we are looking to purchase outdoor equipment to encourage outdoor play. This will have a positive impact physically and mentally for the children and will allow a more fun approach to learning.

We would also like to put £150 towards to cost of free school discos for all the children to attend and enjoy.

Sports Council

No comments Sports Council Irvine

As a Sports Council we would like to support young people in the Irvine Area participate in Sport and Physical Activitiy and increase the number of people who participate in sport.  We are a group of 14-17 year old young people who have had some great experiences and opportunties in Sport of our own and we want to help others have this too.  We have personally seen that sport can help with our physical, mental, social and emotional wellbeing and we strongly believe that all young people should have the access to physical activity to help improve their own wellbeing.  One of the barriers for young people to take part in sport is the access to sports kit and the access to free sport sessions.  As a Sports Council we already offer free sessions (in a variety of different activities) but the young children who we see often don't have a tshirt / shorts etc often miss out or are embarrassed that they don't have sports clothing and therefore don't come to clubs.  By having sports kit to give out, this will hopefully remove that financial barrier and make sport more accessible for all and allow us to create a sports community with strong representation and identity. The target group for this support would be 12 & 13 year olds in the Irvine area.

5th Dreghorn Brownies and Guides Group

We as a unit meet every Thursday night in the community centre in Dreghorn. We try to have as much fun as we can while the girls learn life skills and gain badges. Between the Brownies and the Guides we have 48 girls as well as 6 leaders. We would like to take the whole group on a team building day to Craufurdland Castle in Kilmarnock to carry out a team building day. Activities would range from Archery to tree top trials. With this funding it would ensure that all our girls could attend the day out regardless of social circumstances. Being together as a whole group is important to us and this is our chance to do that.
