Ballantrae Resilience Group
2025-08-28 • No comments • • Coastal Communities Fund 2024/25
During the storms in January 2025, we faced serious challenges – roads were closed, power was lost, phone networks were down, and many were left isolated. But amidst the hardship, something powerful emerged: our community came together. We are in the process of establishing Ballantrae Community Resilience Group – a group of local volunteers and support networks ready to assist during times of crisis. The money would purchase equipment such as flasks, wind-up/solar torches, and radios for those who may be unable to attend a centre. Power banks as many of our residents are elderly and rely on telephones to keep in touch with family and friends. Also, portable generators to help where needed.

New Horizons
2025-09-08 • No comments • • Coastal Communities Fund 2024/25
We are seeking funding to establish a Hospital Support Group at Ayr Hospital, providing vital support for patients recovering from addiction, many of whom have also been involved in the criminal justice system. Recovery does not stop at the hospital doors, and without the right interventions, people are often discharged into the same circumstances that contributed to their difficulties. This leads to relapse, homelessness, or reoffending, creating further strain on health and justice services.
The Hospital Support Group acts as a bridge between acute medical care and long-term community recovery. Led by a recovery practitioner and trained volunteers with lived experience, it offers trauma-informed support in a safe and structured environment. Here, individuals can begin to build trust, develop healthy coping strategies, connect with peer networks, and engage with recovery pathways including treatment, housing, employment, and education.
Funding will allow us to meet the essential needs of people leaving hospital at their most vulnerable stage. This includes emergency food and clothing, transport to access vital services, digital support to stay connected, and household essentials that provide a stable base. These are not luxuries, but lifelines. By
The South (Girvan)
2025-09-09 • No comments • • Coastal Communities Fund 2024/25
We seek funding for initial development costs for The South, including community consultation costs and early concept meetings with consultants.
We are currently looking into purchasing the South Parish Church in Girvan to be used as a multi-purpose community venue for performances etc. of up to 450 people, and as a function space for up to 180 people. No such venue has existed in Girvan since the Beach Pavillion was demolished 15 years ago and as such, there is an identifiable need in the community.
We also aim to convert the church hall into a modern bunkhouse for walkers, cyclists, and for people attending functions or events at the venue. Recent Surveys by GoGirvan have highlighted the need for accommodation, and it will also increase the financial viability of the project. In addition, we are exploring the option of incorporating a commercial kitchen into the complex which could be used both by the venue and other community groups in partnership.
We have successfully delivered the first in a series of public engagement exercises to better understand the needs and wants of the community, and to ascertain their support for the project. Our next steps are to engage consultants to help us develop the project to RIBA 0-2, including options appraisal, feasibility study and concept designs. We are looking for funding to help us do both these things.
