Our “Get Support Now” banners would directly address Community Development by normalising unpaid carer identity and strengthening local networks; Adult & Family Learning through digital engagement and by linking carers to support and advice via the online services. Early self-identification and 24/7 support access will reduce isolation and crisis referrals, benefiting the estimated 1,200 unpaid carers in Prestwick & Villages (and their families), plus local health and social work/care services.

Community Gift Exchange SCIO proposes to refurbish and distribute 10 bikes to adults living in the area who would like to enjoy the health and wellbeing, and cost saving benefits of riding a bike but, impacted by the cost of living crisis, are not able to afford to buy a safe and affordable bike themselves. Producing the bikes in our Ayr based Cycle Works also provides additional training and inclusion volunteering opportunities for young people, people with disabilities, and retired people.

The village hall is used by many different community groups. We desperately need some upgrades. This would help to improve and develop our volunteer run community asset, which sits at the heart of our village.

Troon Men's Shed are working on a Community Asset Transfer to acquire the former Hosiery Park Pavilion and to develop it as a Men's Shed to provide a meeting and activity space for men in Troon.

Refurbishing the hall will enhance sound, comfort, and accessibility—supporting youth, families, and adults with a vibrant, inclusive space for learning, events, and community connection.
