Maybole Juniors FC seeks funding for a new lining machine to replace our unreliable, outdated model. Accurate pitch markings are vital for safe play, fair competition, and sustaining participation across all age groups. This project supports inclusion by providing high-quality facilities for boys, girls, and community players. A modern machine will save volunteer time, reduce costs, and ensure our grounds remain fit for purpose.

The project will ultimately bring Girvan in line with most towns in having the equivalent of a town hall, a community venue large enough to host a reasonably sized event or function, benefitting everyone in Girvan. Both the venue and the proposed bunkhouse will also bring economic benefits to the town, increasing visitors to Girvan, and bringing employment opportunities within the project. We hope to provide educational opportunities in music, theatre and basic cooking for families.

The Iris Arts will develop a community room that people living locally can call their own. Aligning with local priorities, Adult and Family Learning, Youth Work, Financial Inclusion and Community Development, we can develop a space adjoining our Community studio where people living locally can meet, share and learn. This will provide a space for our Youth Volunteers to meet, learn and create, families to engage in creative learning classes and older people to learn and feel less isolated.
