The money will be used to the purchase of additional instruments to support group and individual work, funds will be used to expand the school's instrument pool.

Home practice instruments: Crucially, we will support pupils in having their own instruments to practice at home, enabling consistent and meaningful engagement outside school hours.

McCandlish Hall Community Storage

2025-06-02  •  No comments  •  Williams_678  •  North & South Carrick

We intend to commission a local tradesperson to construct a built-in storage cupboard in the upper room of McCandlish Hall. Funding from this grant will cover the cost of both materials and labour. Like many village halls, McCandlish Hall has faced ongoing challenges with storage, leading to equipment being left out between sessions. This new cupboard will provide a secure space for items belonging to regular community groups such as the craft group, Lego Club, and Badminton Club. It will help keep the area tidy, safe, and more welcoming for all hall users.

By improving organisation and freeing up space, the cupboard will make the hall more attractive for existing and future community groups.

Ultimately, this investment will have a lasting impact—enabling McCandlish Hall to remain a vibrant, multi-use venue that supports local participation and wellbeing across the community.

Discovering Carrick

2025-06-03  •  1 comment  •  smnmck  •  North & South Carrick

Provide walking tours across North Carrick working with local organisations to facilitate these. This will require purchasing a waistband amplifier (essentially a speaker) so that everyone can hear what is being said. Purchasing High-Viz jackets for those particpating as guide leaders. A portable stool for those who may require a rest break. 

We also want to manufacture a card game that will be unique in that is will be themed on Carrick and its recent and distant history. This will provide oppourtunities for families to continue their learning and fun at home while also providing a way for young people to learn about their local community and inspire them to get involved in the future.

Stinchar Connections - Connecting Communities

2025-06-05  •  1 comment  •  Eileen  •  North & South Carrick

Stinchar Connections is a community transport initiative which connects communities in the Stinchar Valley area. The steering group have received funding through Carrick Futures to run a timetabled bus service connecting Girvan, Pinmore, Pinwherry, Barrhill, Colmonell, Ballantrae and Lendalfoot on 6 days of the week. The group has also received Community Mental Health and Wellbeing funding for a Development Officer to help progress the project over the next year. Stinchar Connections is aiming to become constituted, open a bank account and apply for charitable status, however Colmonell Community Association have agreed to act as sponsor organisation meantime. NHS Ayrshire & Arran Health Improvement Team are also supporting the project by evaluating the first year of the pilot transport project. We have applied to Carrick Futures for a second year of the pilot timetabled service. 

The participatory budgeting funding would allow further promotion of the project by the Stinchar Connections Development Officer at local community events where she will have a stall to promote the service. This will help with recruitment of volunteer bus drivers for local trips, which will help the project become more sustainable. A budget for branded clothing has also been included, for the volunteers who will be helping to drive the buses for community outings. We have included a budget for a laptop and software for the Development Officer, as well as costs for printed leaflets and marketing materials (e.g. banner, gazebo, beach flag, pens) to help with promotion.

Maybole Food Pantry – Food distribution costs (packaging)

2025-06-05  •  No comments  •  Tanina  •  North & South Carrick

We plan to use the funding to support the Maybole Food Pantry by purchasing essential distribution materials, including vacuum packaging, kraft paper bags, and labels. These resources will allow us to safely and effectively package a variety of surplus and donated food items, helping us maintain hygiene standards and improve the overall presentation and durability of the food parcels we provide. The funding will ensure that we can continue to meet the growing demand for food support in the local area, reduce food waste, and deliver a dignified and reliable service to individuals and families facing food insecurity due to the rising cost of living.
