Looking for a 20ft container so we can continue our recycling provision. We currently recycle cans and anything we can recycle from the shed.

We are seeking access to a 3D printer to support the development of innovative youth work resources and enhance learning opportunities for young people. The introduction of 3D printing technology would enable the creation of bespoke materials, interactive tools, and creative projects that can enrich youth programmes. It would also provide young people with hands‑on experience in digital fabrication, problem‑solving, and design skills, helping to broaden their learning, confidence, and engagement in STEM‑related activities.

We are seeking a Cricut machine and materials bundle to support the creation of a strong and recognisable brand identity for Next Gen Voice. This resource will enable us to design and produce high‑quality, visually consistent materials that help raise awareness of the group across the Irvine locality. By increasing our visibility, we aim to strengthen engagement with young people and encourage more of them to recognise the group and access our support. The Cricut machine will allow us to produce branded hoodies, banners, and T‑shirts, helping to clearly identify our members and promote a sense of belonging and professionalism within the group.

To be able to start with a garden project, we need trees cut back. ground cleared and raised beds built. We also need areas power washed and railings painted.

We need a shed to store equipment and we need gardening tools for volunteers to use. We need spades, trowels, lopers, edging tools, gardening gloves, kneeling stools, suitable for both adults and children.

We don't receive funding from anywhere else to run the group, members will give £2 when meeting to cover costs for refreshments and sometimes games etc. We would like some help to buy promotional items like a pop up banner, T-shirts and posters to enable us to let other people in the local area know that we are there. Due to some of the members on low income we would also like to take them on 2 trips this summer. We did this last year and used South Ayrshire Transport as they have adapted buses which allows all of us to travel together. We are looking for some help to cover the costs, the total cost of everything is £1918.10 although this could rise due to the cost of fuel. The members would be isolated due to their disability as the nearest support group is in Irvine and not all have transport.

Request for voluntary time from a creative designer that can support us to develop a design programme/plan for the installation of heritage boards; QR codes and murals around our town. For Beith and district one of our actions is to improve our spaces - how they look and how they feel to make them more inviting and welcoming for residents and visitors. This will help us to apply for funding foe a feasibility study and to create our visual spaces that supports social isolation and mental health and well being.

We are looking for a donation of voluntary time and tarmac. We have restored an unloved garden that was initially created for the queens coronation in 1953. Since then it has been under utilised and since 2020 we have restored the original draughts board, planted the raised borders, installed commemorative benches and trees. The path around the area and draught board is in need of a smoother surface to make it accessible for wheelchair and buggy users. Currently it has chipped stones covered in moss and is uneven. Any left over tarmac would be greatly appreciated to complete our coronation garden access.

We are looking to raise £4000. This will support us to purchase and install an information heritage board in our coronation garden. The board will tell the story of the garden from its creation in 1953 to the present day. This is the final phase of restoring the garden that began in 2020.
