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.

We are opening a visitor attraction inside the community owned Broadway cinema in Prestwick to make our town an even more attractive place to live and work. The Broadway meets all three priority areas: it will deliver an enhanced sense of place, and a high quality indoor space for the community. It will support training and educational opportunities. It will enhance the local economy and streetscape.

Many children from the poorest and most deprived parts of our community come from difficult and dysfunctional home backgrounds with very high levels of dependency where there is often little or no encouragement to look at the amazing future career prospects of fulfilling and rewarding careers which can lift vulnerable young adults out of a life of dependency.The Careers Fair is a unique opportunity for these P7 pupils to meet face to face with over 30 widely different Career Representatives.

The group is for men from the North Carrick area to get together with weekly activities and trips out in a supportive and welcoming environment – combating loneliness and building friendships
