In relation to the identified priorities in the Guidance & Essential criteria what will your idea achieve and who will benefit from your project?

Tarbolton lost its 1967 community centre when a new campus opened in 2015, leaving minimal space and many groups disbanded. With a growing, ageing population, loneliness is rising; 2 in 3 residents want a new community-run facility.

Please describe what you plan to do and what the money will be used for? (i.e., purchase equipment/resources)

We plan to develop a new, community-owned facility that will provide a welcoming space for activities, services, and social connection for residents of all ages. Funding will be used to secure and prepare the site, purchase essential equipment and furnishings (tables, chairs, kitchen equipment, IT and audio-visual resources), and cover professional costs such as design, surveys, and project management. It will also support accessibility improvements, utilities setup, and initial operating costs to ensure the space is safe, inclusive, and ready for immediate community use.
