2025-05-20 • 1 comment • • Prestwick, Troon & Villages
To purchase the former Troon Old Parish Church and Halls from the Church of Scotland on behalf of the community.
To turn the former buildings into a safe vibrant space for all the community of KA10 and visitors.
Provide a venue for civil weddings, music, drama, theatre, and pop-up cinema within the former sanctuary. Use the halls for access by all types of organisations and groups to provide health and well-being activities such as yoga, marital arts, dancing, well-being events, and other activities such as arts and crafts.
Create a community garden to provide vegetables and herbs for the community and hopefully encourage intergenerational working together.
Light Up Loans (Christmas Event)
2025-06-12 • 1 comment • • Prestwick, Troon & Villages
We would like to bring back the popular ‘Light Up Loans’ event, which hasn’t run in the village since before covid. This Christmas event brought the whole village together to sing carols and enjoy refreshments before counting down to the switch on of the Christmas lights.
We would also like to have a lovely tree within the village hall which would be lit up and on display for any events held in the hall during December. Part of this project would be to offer local people at the Light Up Loans event to purchase a tree bauble that they decorate in memory of a loved one or with a special Christmas message. The monies generated from this would be used for future years to replenish baubles, replace lights and decorations as required.
We’re looking to apply for funding to cover the costs of an outdoor Christmas tree (purchase, delivery and installation/removal), an indoor tree, lights and decorations for both, baubles to personalise and refreshments for on the night.
Outdoor Christmas tree - £700
Indoor Christmas tree - £330
Lights and decorations - £300
Ceramic baubles to personlise - £200
Refreshments for event - £100
Total - £1630
Friends of Dundonald Castle - Community Hub Upgrades
2025-06-12 • 1 comment • • Prestwick, Troon & Villages
We plan to use the funding to upgrade our existing lighting system to a more energy-efficient solution. This upgrade will reduce our energy consumption, lower our utility costs, and support our goal of operating a more sustainable community hub.
Our charity previously secured ARIA funding to conduct a comprehensive Building Condition Survey. Based on the findings, the surveyor recommended improvements to both our heating and lighting systems.
Using a local installer, we have already completed the heating system upgrade. This proposed lighting upgrade represents the next phase of our improvements. The need for this lighting improvement is also an outstanding action on our Asset Maintenance Register.
By lowering our operational costs through these upgrades, we will be able to redirect the savings into expanding and supporting the wide range of clubs, activities, and events we offer to our community. Last year, we welcomed over 29,010 users to our community hub and now run 12 free regular community groups and an annual programme of community and family activities. The hub also acts as the cosy, safe, and welcoming space for the village and surrounding area all year round.
Project total cost: £2520 PB Funding request: £2000 FoDC will fund £520
