Unpaid Carers “Get Local Support Now” Banner Campaign

No comments Carers Gateway Prestwick, Troon & Villages

Our “Get Support Now” banners would directly address Community Development by normalising unpaid carer identity and strengthening local networks; Adult & Family Learning through digital engagement and by linking carers to support and advice via the online services. Early self-identification and 24/7 support access will reduce isolation and crisis referrals, benefiting the estimated 1,200 unpaid carers in Prestwick & Villages (and their families), plus local health and social work/care services.

Arts and Crafts Doonfoot After School Services (DASS)

No comments Doonfoot After School Service Ayr South & Villages

We are seeking support for Arts and Crafts materials as we have none anymore. The objective is to engage the young people at our service using their creative expression, support their artistic skills, and utilise the arts skills of our staff to benefit our pupils. We used to have materials but the service nearly closed due to rising costs. We increased our fees, cut our staffing and had to ask parents of our young people to bring in scrap paper from home so they could draw.
