Friends of Dundonald Castle SCIO are applying for project funding to deliver much-needed evening clubs and activities for our community. We have been consistently approached by members of our community to increase our extensive daytime offer of clubs and groups into the evenings. 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.

Maybole Juniors FC seeks funding for a new lining machine to replace our unreliable, outdated model.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 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

Our project focuses on supporting volunteers by providing access to high-quality training and meaningful work experience at our Forest School and Outdoor Learning Centre. Through this initiative, we aim to create pathways into employability and volunteering opportunities while reducing poverty by ensuring accessibility for all—particularly those who are disengaged from mainstream education, or otherwise excluded, disabled, school-leavers and job-seekers etc.

Volunteer-led hall improvements and scaffold purchase to make Ayr North’s community hub safer, sustainable, and welcoming, benefiting young people, groups, and local residents.

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.
