Our project aims to make water sports more accessible locally. By purchasing a new trailer, we will be able to securely and safely transport our water sports equipment to benefit the local community.

The group is for men from the North Carrick area to get together with weekly activities and trips out in a supportive and welcoming environment – combating loneliness and building friendships

Our project focuses on supporting volunteers by providing access to high-quality training and meaningful work experience at our Forest School and Outdoor Learning Centre. Through this initiative, we aim to create pathways into employability and volunteering opportunities while reducing poverty by ensuring accessibility for all—particularly those who are disengaged from mainstream education, or otherwise excluded, disabled, school-leavers and job-seekers etc.

We are opening a visitor attraction inside the community owned Broadway cinema in Prestwick to make our town an even more attractive place to live and work. The Broadway meets all three priority areas: it will deliver an enhanced sense of place, and a high quality indoor space for the community. It will support training and educational opportunities. It will enhance the local economy and streetscape.

The Iris Arts will develop a community room that people living locally can call their own. Aligning with local priorities, Adult and Family Learning, Youth Work, Financial Inclusion and Community Development, we can develop a space adjoining our Community studio where people living locally can meet, share and learn. This will provide a space for our Youth Volunteers to meet, learn and create, families to engage in creative learning classes and older people to learn and feel less isolated.

Maybole Juniors FC seeks funding for a new lining machine to replace our unreliable, outdated model. Accurate pitch markings are vital for safe play, fair competition, and sustaining participation across all age groups. This project supports inclusion by providing high-quality facilities for boys, girls, and community players. A modern machine will save volunteer time, reduce costs, and ensure our grounds remain fit for purpose.
