We would be very grateful for this funding to assist our mentoring project further as there is such a need for this service in our Council area. Our team is currently holding one-on-one mentoring sessions at Ayr Academy, Belmont Academy, Queen Margaret Academy and Prestwick Academy. We also have team members visiting Barassie Primary School on a weekly basis and working with Primary 7 children, and we are hoping to continue the work with them once they move to Marr College in Troon.
Description
The Ayr Ark was established in 2002 by local churches to provide a solution to the growing problem of underage drinking and anti-social behaviour among the young people of South Ayrshire.
The Ayr Ark provides a safe alternative to the many peer pressures that young people are faced with.
Through outreach, engaging events and mentoring, we are committed to having a positive influence on the lives, attitudes, physical and psychological well-being of young people regardless of their sex, race, creed, physical or mental ability.
Although the last few years have been challenging for us as a charity, we have remained active and relevant in our work.
The main aims of our charity are:
Engaging with young people by running events and activities which address a variety of practical needs for young people.
Equipping young people with the knowledge and understanding needed for building and developing their own life skills and self-confidence.
Empowering young people with the experience and confidence to make wise and safe lifestyle choices and to take hold of a more positive future for themselves.
