Community Benefits Wishlist Submission

We’re looking for ceiling tiles to help us repair damage after a recent flood from the upstairs property. Unfortunately, this is the second time this has happened since moving into our new shop—and we’re only eight months into our new premises. We’ve already cleaned up the mess and are now waiting for the relevant contractors to fully fix the leak and reassure us that the issue is completely resolved. As a small, non-profit organisation, we’re hoping to avoid going through insurance again, as this would set us back significantly in terms of time and progress. If anyone is able to donate or supply ceiling tiles over the next 2–3 weeks, it would make a huge difference and help us move forward in continuing our work with the community. Thank you so much for your support 💜

Preparation of bases for portacabins, ankle bar, sheeting and cladding for terracing.

Advertising boards, player sponsorship, kit sponsorship and footballs.

Grounds maintenance and Renewing barriers.

We are looking for some Grass Reinforcement Mesh – Heavy-Duty Turf Protection for Car Parks, Driveways & Lawns. We aim to use this for a couple of disabled parking spaces close to the field to facilitate access as the current parking is quite far from the field and makes it hard for people with mobility issues to access. We are looking for roughly 2mx30m. Any excess from the car spaces would be used in high traffic areas of the field where it is becoming muddy and slippery.

Help with the setting up and dismantling of 240 crowd barriers for a jousting event we want to put on for our visitors. This is to provide an arena 20 x 70m long. It has to be double ringed for safety purposes. This is the weekend of Sat 6th and Sun 7th Sept and will need to be done either the night before or preferably first thing in the morning and dismantled on the Sunday evening or Monday morning.

Assistance to erect fencing.

Areas of the plot become badly flooded. Financial assistance with the costs associated with installing drainage.

Groundworks and materials to improve paths. Paths are narrow and uneven leaving most of the plot inaccessible to people with mobility issues. Our aim is to be able to be fully inclusive

We have recently moved into new premises which had been empty for 4 years, and we urgently need a small roof repair to protect our renovation work so far. We have all the materials aside from tech screws, and would be looking for someone to come out with a grinder and a cherry picker to replace the three missing panels on the roof (which we will supply)

As part of the work on our new building we'd be really grateful for a gas and electricity safety check to be completed. There are two combi boilers in the building (one upstairs and one downstairs).

We would like to renovate the old canteen space in our building to run a community café and host classes around food. If you have any donations of materials t help with this - oven, sink, cooker, worktops, fridge-freezer, stainless steel surfaces - we would be extremely grateful

Financial donation for the first aiders for the day. This is £430 for the full day for 6 qualified first aiders. Thank you for considering covering this cost

Books and sensory gifts for ASN santas grotto. £500 This will allow for approximately 150 children with ASN to get an appropriate gift from santa Thank you for considering all of part of this wish

£265 Grotto set up - this will be a fully inclusive, accessible santas grotto. last year one family told us "this is the first year we have been able to get a family photo with santa - thank you for being inclusive and not just saying you are".

We are seeking a financial donation so we can pay for room hire, we would also like to invite speakers in to share different stories, hints and tips. Also we would be looking to eventually seek some instructors to come in and complete things like Yoga, perhaps sell skin care products.

We would be seeking a donation of materials such as Tea, Coffee, Biscuits or even cakes if we had the money to buy them.

we would ask for sponsorship / fundraising support to help spread the word as well as raising funds. we are keen to have our wee group spread to allow us to reach all mums who have different circumstances for example a morning class but we would need to look for alternative halls and these cost money. Fundraising idea could also be things like a summer fete, Christmas fair.

We are continually needing the things that we cannot give out second hand, this includes but is not limited to: nappies, bottles and weaning equipment, baby toiletries (bath wash, shampoo, lotion, nappy rash cream) wipes and underwear for the children out of nappies. These are things that are regularly requested in the bundles that go out, so we are asking for as much that can be donated.

Baby Bundles is a project run from the registered charity organisation Beith Community Development Trust and as such we rely on different funding and donations when there are things that we need to be able to supply in our bundles that we cannot get donated to us. We are looking for any kind of financial donations to be able to have a pot of money that we are able to use in the instance that a family are requesting something that we cannot source through the kind donations of the community around them.

We are looking for an old portacabin to be dispose off. This cabin is around 40ft x 12ft. There is no power to the unit and no water. It has been emptied with the exception on a few items. We are looking for this to removed no later than September 2025

Irvine Sea cadets are looking for some funding to cover the cost of the MOT and service of our mini bus. The mini bus is used for travelling to courses for our cadets and volunteer staff. The mini bus requires servicing every 6-8 weeks which can be costly.

Office Space portacabin We are on the lookout for a portacabin that has x2 office space with heating and electrics. This is a space required for our volunteering staff to give back the cadets safe space.
