Coylton Family Fun Day
2025-06-10 • No comments • • Ayr South & Villages
Last Coylton Fun Day was held 8yrs ago, villagers are extremely keen after local discussion and feedback from local groups for it to be reinstated for their Community. The volunteer led event would enhance engagement, reduce isolation and increase cohesion. Coylton has a number of vibrant 3rd sector organisations all willing to work together to benefit their residents. With current cost of living situation reinstating the annual fun day would enable those who can’t afford to travel further afield to enjoy a family day out. Funding purchases can be continually used on future events and will be readily available for local groups.
With current reduction in local funding, positive partnership working is so important and local groups coming together to work together is essential. This year we rebuilt the Santa Sleigh and took it round all the streets in village along with Santa and Mrs Claus and many elves handing out sweets and interacting with all the kids , we had Breakfast with Santa handing out gifts in the local Cafe ,( Me's ) this year we hope to expand to Hot Chocolate after parade in our Marquee , we can also support our Community Football team with events and sport activities for all the children we want to bring back the heart of the Community and lots of Fun things to engage the Families and local residents in. We would like to purchase as one of the equipment necessary for the project, ie: Generator , Marquee, PA system, Hot water Urns
Refurbished Bikes for New Riders in Ayr South and Villages
2025-06-05 • No comments • • Ayr South & Villages
£2000 will pay for 10 refurbished bikes, to be supplied by our CGX Cycle Works as capital assets costing £200 each to be donated free of charge to individuals. CGX Cycle Works has recently completed two successive years producing 400 refurbished bikes to issue free of charge to young people across South Ayrshire. The Cycling Scotland recognised cost of a refurbished bike exceeds £250, with the additional costs of storing and distributing them to recipients exceeding that again, all being regarded as elements of the total capital cost to achieve the transfer of ownership of the capital asset. During distribution of the bikes to children, many of the parents asked about the availability of free bikes so they could go on rides with their children. We hope to meet this identified need.
Red Bags Full of Joy

We rely soleley on donations and fundraising and over the past few years we have struggled with providing fred bags for older children. We often put games into these bags as this is something which older children enjoy but we find that we dont have as many donations of these as we would like. The funding would be to purchase as many boardgames as possible and our team of volunteers would then be able to use these for the bags for older children.
