Our project aims to make water sports more accessible locally. By purchasing a new trailer, we will be able to securely and safely transport our water sports equipment to benefit the local community.

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.

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.

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.
