The project will initially be delivered in Ayr, including Newton-on-Ayr, benefiting residents of these South Ayrshire coastal communities who experience anxiety, worry or overwhelm, alongside their families and carers. Printed information and practical handouts will be offered through local businesses and community organisations that agree to participate. Materials will link residents to AAI’s free online tools and appropriate support information, while also providing useful guidance for people who prefer printed resources. Distribution will focus on a manageable local area, with wider circulation to Prestwick and Troon where suitable distribution points can be secured within the project budget and available capacity.
