Community Benefits Wishlist Submission

We would appreciate provision (or funding) for paint to repaint our interior ceilings and for the exterior of the building which will require repainting again in due course. We have volunteers ready to undertake the work. We would also appreciate assistance with the cost of refurbishing or replacing the existing wrought iron wall-planters (2) and hanging baskets (1) and possibly with seasonal plants. The estimated cost for the wall-planters etc is £100 - 150)

Financial help with the cost of providing Hygiene Supplies in the Public toilets which our organisation maintains. This is a significant outlay depending on how busy the toilets are during different seasons. Estimated costs (£600 per annum]

The Committee would appreciate professional support and advice about publicising our organisation partly with a view to attracting a younger group of members. We are as a group limited in our digital skills.)

We require Tarmac or similar surfaces to allow us to level ground within our facilities making them more accessible to the recreational grounds users. We also require some cement pathways to allow unhindered wheelchair access to some afreas of the ground.

The entrance to our recreational ground is uneven and presents hazards to most users we require it to be lit up and the surface to be made even through the use of tarmac or other material. This would then allow the local authority to adopt the pathways and maintain in the future.

We wish to build a covered area to allow spectators to shelter from wind and rain weather whilst watching recreational ground activities. We would require a metal frame and sheeting along with posts.

I would like to be able to run events this year for men to attend such as breathwork classes to help men regulate their nervous systems better. I'd like to deliver mindset seminars and offer coaching for men who need it quickly. I'd also need help to be able to hire facilities to run these events above as well as outdoor sports facilities to put on activities for the guys.

Every year the group arranges a 10k race in honour of one of the founding members who sadly passed away. We are looking for funding to purchase 200 medals that each participant who completed the race will receive.

We would be grateful for sponsorship towards the event in the form of water, tables, gazebos etc.

Paint and wood - ongoing maintenance. • white matt emulsion needed 40 litres • black gloss metal paint - Hammerite type/ Combicolour Metal Paint by Rust-Oleum - 20 litres • wood for cupboards - suitable for inside doors and shelving

We need shelves building and doors putting on cupboards

We need help with miaintenance painting of inside walls and external railings

Maintenance of grass area/pitches - mowing, aerating etc. One off support at some point in the year would be really helpful

Material suitable to repair access pathways. The road needs 40 tons win type chips/ grit which would need spreading and tamping - the path has potholes and needs covering

Material suitable to repair access pathways.

We need approx 2 tonnes of gravel along with a new weed membrane to tidy up the front garden of our Bank Street property in Irvine so that our building feels and looks like a safe and welcoming space for all the children and young people who access our services.

We would love to receive replacement flooring for the chill out/ meeting space at our Bank Street property in Irvine (approx 16x12 feet). The space is used by young people who need a quieter space away from our main workshop, for parents & carers waiting for their children during art therapy sessions and for meetings. The current carpet is very worn and old and would really benefit from a new carpet or wooden flooring to uplift the space and to make those who use it feel more valued.

We are fortunate to have a small back garden at our premises in Irvine but we don't use it enough as it's become a bit run down. We'd love to create an outdoor learning space/ seating area for use over the warmer months and for it to have a makeover so that it's a nicer place to spend time outdoors.

We are looking for a strong sturdy box, with lid closure, to keep litter picking equipment and bags in for members of the public to use while visiting our beach. Given the location of this box it needs to be able to withstand all weathers. As an add on the box needs to be at least 1 Meter in length and have a weather proof pouch/ducket type thing on the top, so we can attach details of how to report bags of litter to the council for uplift. Examples of what we're looking for can be seen below: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeen-aberdeenshire/4675495/take-for-shore-project-expands-aberdeenshire/ https://www.irvinecleanupcrew.com/ https://www.facebook.com/share/15nNb71iPD/

We require (12) chairs for our groups, that are comfortable and have arms, so people with poor mobility feel secure using them, as current ones we have are not suitable for some people

We have recently developed a small outdoor space that is wheelchair accessible, but in order to make it an all season asset, we require an awning that can be put across to provide shelter when required

Financial or Donations would be greatly appreciated. Our hugs in a bag are to ensure those isolated or with no family know someone is thinking of them this festive season. This was done in my previous role as a community link worker and was greatly received and appreciated really touches people to know someone cares about them. We need to purchase medium sized Christmas Cards Fluffy blankets, fluffy socks, male or female, sweet treats, Hats & Gloves( Male & Female) Bubble bath, male and female toiletries, candles or diffusers, mugs/cups pens & notebooks, diaries. Anything at all would be appreciated.

We need a new floor in the toilets and the main hall, any assistance would be great. It has been wear and tear of a well used building, they were all new floors in 2011.

We support people who are struggling by providing a hot meal or a food pack. We would be really grateful for any donations towards food costs that we provide from our cafe where for some we provide for free - your support will help us to sustain this service.
