Maybole Women's Group

We are a women's group supporting health and well being, we brought the group together to bring other out of isolation, to prevent lonliness and help meet new people. Thriving Communities give us the space in the Library to do this. We meet weekly and our group has grown in numbers from the start, although we have a Facebook page word of mouth tends to be the best advertisementof our group. Its the women's voice that counts, they choose what they want to happen within the group and some of the other ladies make it happen by organising the activities or guest speakers that will tie in with what meets the needs of the group. Any funding we recieve would be a bonus for us as up until now we have paid for everything on or own.
Vics In The Community

This application is to support Vics In The Community with capital costs for our new Community Hub that is scheduled to open in June 2025. The application for funding would assist with costs to protect the building from anti social behaviour.
The new community hub located in North Ayr and will be the cornerstone of the community serving young people, adults and families. North Ayr is reconised as an area of deprivation and this facility will allow us to further enhance our support to the community and address challenges such as mental health and wellbeing, food insecurity and financial hardship.

Peter Boyle Bowling Club want to play a part in addressing social isolation and loneliness and foster healthy, safe and inclusive communities within South Ayrshire. We want residents to come along to the club throughout the year and enjoy various activities, socialise and improve their health and wellbeing. In order to do that we want to have one of the best bowling clubs in Ayr. By addressing these areas we aim to attract residents in local communities, family and friends to the club. This in turn will encourage others to book parties, which is our lifeline as the membership fees alone do not cover the green maintenance costs.
In relation to the bowling green, we would like to put in artificial banking and purchase a sorrel roller for aerating the green. The roller provides a good drainage and is good way to get nutrients, water and air into roots for healthier grass. It is also less disruptive to the surface and carried out on a timelier basis.
At the side of the clubhouse, we have a new seating area outside for bowlers, social members and visitors to enjoy. We also chipped the seating area. This was all made possible due to the grant funding we received last year. However, there is still a large area that requires to be chipped. This would make the surrounding area aesthetically pleasing and will future proof the area, should we wish to extend the seating area in the future
In relation to the clubhouse, we recently painted the inside and replaced the bench seating thanks to the previous grant. However, the tables and chairs are over 30 year old and are in urgent need of replacement. This will make the function room more welcoming to members and visitors alike. The benefit being more functions and income generation to assist with every day running costs of the club. The dance floor also needs re-buffing and varnished as like the tables and chairs it is looking very tired and is in need of improvement. It has not been re-buffed since the floor went down over 30 years ago. We recently purchased speakers so that we can host our own entertainment but we need a laptop. This would mean we can host our own entertainment, thus reducing entertainment costs.
Prestwick St Cuthbert Archery Club

The project will support two different levels.
- Archery Tag – This will support community engagement at the weekly Come and Try events we run at Riverside Sports Arena and community charity events that we support. Having just moved into new outdoor facilities at Annbank Football Club, Weston Avenue New Pebble Park, Annbank, Ayr KA6 5EF we will be supporting the Annbank Community Fund to support the local community. Archery Tag is a way to get all ages involved in group games which then introduces people to the sport moving onto other target games, soft archery and eventually to engage with the sport of archery. In the past we have had success from 8 – 80 years in age.
- Disability Sport Support – We have members of the club that are disabled. To have their equipment adjusted it requires a minimum of a 10 hour round trip or to send equipment away for adjustment/repair. We propose to buy several items for bow maintenance which will be held and stored at the club’s facility to allow access to repair and tune compound bows and recurve bows. The compound bows are compressed and cannot be adjusted without specific equipment including a Bow Press, Draw Board, and a Bieter Vice.
The Archery Tag will be used as part of the Come and Try / Community events that we host weekly / monthly in Ayr North and other areas where we are asked to support community events throughout South Ayrshire. We expect to begin to host out own Archery Beginners courses to Archery GB standard June / July 2025 which will be open to residents across the whole of Ayrshire.
Initially we will be targeting SIMD areas working in partnership with Active Schools and Scottish Disability Sports Sport. The club has a range of equipment suitable for beginner’s courses and a limited supply of equipment that can also be borrowed.
Disability Bow Maintenance The equipment being applied for will allow archers from across North Ayr and beyond to access equipment to maintain their personal equipment. The club at the moment has several disabled archers who also are competitive archers and shoot across the UK most recently gaining a 3rd and 4th place in the Scottish Indoor Championships. To aid the disabled archers who shoot compound we need to invest in specific items of equipment that allow compound bows to be maintained without having make a 10 hr round trip to an archery shop. Part of this can also be used by the whole club as clamps and draw testers for different types of equipment. Introducing maintenance develops new skills within the sport and the community. It also means that individuals take ownership of equipment and learn how to develop new skills Archery is one of the most inclusive sports there is. It is multi-generational and multi-cultural while being a sport that abled and disabled can complete together. As a club we have worked with the local area West of Scotland Archery Association and Scottish Archery to support inclusion running events for Scottish Disability Sport. Locally we have supported Active School with children who were non attendees at school and many neurodiverse children have found archery to be a sport that that they can focus on and repeat. One of the Scotland U21 Team that I manage who is neurodivergent has now progressed onto representing the country at senior level a fantastic achievement.
