GoGirvan Headquarters & Community Hub Refurbishment & Fitout
2026-02-19 • No comments • • Place Based Investment Fund
We have leased a property on Dalrymple Street to act as our Headquarters: Office, Shop and Community Hub. We need to have the shop front painted and a hard-wearing laminate floor laid in the main body of the premises that can handle a lot of foot traffic for years to come, while also acting as a form of insulation to decrease our heating bills and carbon footprint. This funding will allow us to do the work and also fitout the premises to a high standard, ready to welcome the community and our staff.
Prestwick Tennis and Fitness - Construction of Covered Padel Tennis Court
2026-02-17 • No comments • • Place Based Investment Fund
PT&F is looking to construct a covered Padel tennis court within the grounds of its indoor tennis centre in Prestwick. The provision of a covered court means that Padel tennis can be more available to the local community in any weather throughout the whole of the year. We see the introduction of Padel as an excellent fit to complement our current tennis offering. We have planning permission in place, and we are currently in the process of raising sufficient funds to enable to project to go-ahead.
The cost of the construction of a covered Padel tennis court is £210,000 (including VAT) and to date we have raised £45,000 from the Lawn Tennis Association (loan), £10,000 from NRS (grant) and a £70,000 from Sportscotland (grant). The club will be contributing £10,000 and we have applications submitted to The Stanley Morrison Trust (£15,000 grant) and Social Enterprise Scotland (£20,000 Loan). We therefore currently have a funding gap of £40,000 which we are looking to be provided through the Place Based Investment Fund to complete our funding requirements.
The additional income from the new padel facility will support our drive to make return our organisation to financial stability following trading difficulties in recent years resulting from loss of membership during the Covid pamdemic, and other financial pressures since then including the cost of living crisis and significant overhead increases (eg utility bills, NI costs, living wage increases)

centenary year clubhouse upgrade
2026-02-12 • No comments • • Place Based Investment Fund
Over the years parts of the building has fallen into a state of disrepair, this has been highlighted by members of the club and members of various community groups.
We would like to apply for funding to upgrade the clubhouse and make the facilities more attractive for members of the club and the wider community. Essentially we are starting to think about future proofing the club so that it can continue to exist well into the future. Funding is needed to repair the roof and replace windows and also to replace the front door. By replacing the windows, it will help assist us with reducing our heating bill.
