A Container and Voluntary Time to set up please We urgently need a container sited outside of the hall - this will offer local people accessing the Community Larder more privacy and dignity. We also hope that it encourages others living in food poverty to access this vital service. Currently, we have the fridge/freezer in the main hall and the larder in a large cupboard area also in the main hall, access is managed around when the hall is not in use. The container we require to have electricity for fridges and Freezers and lighting/heating. We will also require purpose-built shelving for food items and things like school uniforms/Halloween kids' recycling clothing rail as we will make it a multi-use facility.

Ardrossan & Largs Sea Cadets (TS Gannet) need assistance from companies who can help with the supply of Skips 14 cubic meters in size to help carry and dispose of the portacabins that are unfit to accommodate Sea Cadets in their education in the skills of handling boats and the sea. If your company can supply skips and help at reduced cost or free, this would allow the cadets to clear their premises ready for their location to be rebuilt and able to accommodate more cadets from our community.

Ardrossan Sea Cadets have several steel portacabins, with seven old-style portacabins that are unusable if your company could uplift them and take them away for disposal or refurbishment. The cadets would be eternally thankful as this will clear the area, ready for phase 3 to rebuild the accommodation needed to increase the number of cadets. Ardrossan Sea Cadets are looking for help and assistance to demolish 7 portacabins that are unfit to be used due to water ingress and need to be dismantled and disposed of in an environmental way that meets all the government and council conditions for disposal. If you’re a company that could help with your services the cadets would be internally grateful as this will allow the location to continue with its phased rebuild.

Ardrossan Sea Cadets need replacement Portacabins to replace the units they lost due to the pandemic. Because of no meetings, the portacabins could not be maintained. The lack of maintenance, thereby became unfit to accommodate our Sea Cadets. Do you have some 32ft x 10ft portacabins that you do not need but could be put to use for our sea Cadets to use?
