People With Parkinson's (PWP) are often overwhealmed by the condition to the extent that they do not admit even to people close to them that they have the symptoms. They do not go out or exercise and their symptoms deteriorate rapidly. It has been proven through studies in the USA, Japan and the UK that table tennis not only provides vital exercise for PWP it also stimulates the brain to make new pathways in the brain. Causing a tangible slowing down of the condition.

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.

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.
