Friends of Dundonald Castle SCIO are applying for project funding to deliver much-needed evening clubs and activities for our community.

This will allow us to increase the demographic spread of our Community Hub users and visitors, improving accessibility for all those with daytime commitments with 3 new evening groups.

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 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.
