<p>Arts workshops open to the public to tackle social isolation. The workshops would take place in partnership with KA&nbsp;Leisure and sessions would take place free of charge within a KA building. This will give adults&nbsp;in the community, the opportunity&nbsp;to come together in a group setting and learn new skills, meet new people, build confidence, and improve mental health and wellbeing whilst working with a North Ayrshire&nbsp;Artist,&nbsp;Lynn McNally.&nbsp;</p>

<p>LMC offers an informal setting for amateur musicians to meet on a regular basis and encourage one another to improve their skill level on their preferred musical instrument.</p>

<p>We&#39;re applying for funding to allow us to run various green, environmentally friendly,&nbsp;workshops across summer as part of our Ayrshire sculpture competition.</p>

<p>Part of SeaSalt Streets&#39; remit is to create public awareness and engagement through a series of pop-up events. As part of previous public consultation, it has come to our notice that people know little or nothing of Betsy Miller.</p> <p>SeaSalt Streets intend to use the funds to hold two events in Saltcoats to raise the awareness of Betsy Miller, Britain&#39;s 1st Female Sea Captain.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is hoped that the success of the events would lead to more similarly themed promotions on a regular basis.</p>
