Kirkmichael Community Shop and Cafe provides a vital service for our rural village. Our idea is to install an Electronic Point of Sale System (EPOSS) in the community shop and cafe which will assist with community development of this village asset and improve our community space and facility for the residents in Kirkmichael. The beneficiaries will be both our community members and visitors to the village. This system will enhance the working environment for our staff and volunteers.

Installing a built-in storage cupboard will improve our community space and facility by maximising the hall’s usable space by keeping equipment safely stored and reducing clutter, making the environment safer and more flexible for a wide range of community uses. This will also support community development. Beneficiaries will include all our current and future community groups. Volunteers and organisers will also benefit from easier setup and reduced workload.

The Night Before Christmas Campaign is a local registered charity which helps local children and vulnerable adults at Christmas and throughout the year who are living in poverty. Due to the cost of living crisis there are a growing number of families who struggle at Christmas. Christmas 2024 we helped 8072 children and vulnerable adults to bring some magic to them at Christmas. We provide red bags full of joy which consist of Pyjama's, stationary, underwear, a toy or game and chocolate.
