Ballantrae Resilience Group

2025-08-28  •  No comments  •  Sharon Adams  •  Coastal Communities Fund 2024/25

During the storms in January 2025, we faced serious challenges – roads were closed, power was lost, phone networks were down, and many were left isolated. But amidst the hardship, something powerful emerged: our community came together. We are in the process of establishing Ballantrae Community Resilience Group – a group of local volunteers and support networks ready to assist during times of crisis. The money would purchase equipment such as flasks, wind-up/solar torches, and radios for those who may be unable to attend a centre. Power banks as many of our residents are elderly and rely on telephones to keep in touch with family and friends. Also, portable generators to help where needed.

Senior Primary Schools (P7) Careers Fair

2025-09-01  •  No comments  •  RotaryAyr  •  Coastal Communities Fund 2024/25

P7 pupils from 9 schools, prioritising those with a catchment area serving the most deprived and poorest areas of Ayr, will be transported to Ayr town Hall where representatives of between 30 and 35 widely different careers have been invited for the day. The reps have been selected as they are known to be enthusiastic about the work they do, are great communicators, and in the majority of cases, have asked to return after previously been involved in the Project over the last 2 years.

The Career stalls are designed to be highly interactive and "Hands-0n"; we are not telling the pupils what grades they need and what college of course they need to aim for (this is done at Secondary school by careers teachers); we want to inspire them, encourage them to think beyond what they think they might end up doing when they leave school. We believe this will motivate them as they start secondary school in a few months after the event.All the Careers reps give up a day, all in their own time, some self employed. Rotarians are on hand to help the teachers supervise the children on the day.

Funding is used for Hire of the Venue (Ayr Town Hall - £250), Hire of the buses to transport the pupils (£850), and a light sandwich lunch and refreshments for the 60 to 70 Careers Reps who will be attending (£300 which Rotary will Fund)
