A feasibility study is required for 'Bessie On The Bypass'project and we are looking to secure the professional services of an architect and structural engineer to carry out a feasibility study.

The feasibility study will include digging a trial pit at the site in order to asses site suitability. We are looking for the services of an excavator and driver to dig out the trial pit and fill back in after excavation.

Further down the line we will require a company to dig out foundations and construct a plynth for the artpiece.

As our weather is so unpredictable we are raising funds to build a 3mtr x 6mtr solid gazebo structure with a roof, to allow outdoor learning to continue during inclement weather. We will need help to prepare the ground and make it accessible for all. At present it is partly chipped with slabs.

Ideally 3mtr x 8mtr approx of block paving for a level access to our outdoor space. We have found that other areas within the garden which have slabs, tend to move and can be a tripping hazard.

We have priced gazebos of this size and we are looking at a price range of 2500 - 3500. We are fundraising by having a preloved fashion show and hopefully we will raise a reasonable amount towards this. This will be a tremdous asset for our space as it can also be used for any of our garden events throughout the year. Fb Dalry Community Garden

Looking for a company to assist with water damage repairs to our scout hall caused by a burst water pipe, known things effected by the water damage are ceiling boards, roof insulation, ceiling lights there are other effected areas.

Looking for a boiler contractor to inspect and service the boiler in our hall to see if there has been any damaged caused by the water leak.

We are looking to decorate and modernise our community centre so we are looking for donation of paint and decorating supplies to help us with this project.

We are looking for people who would be willing to donate their time to help us with decorating our community centre. There is a number of rooms and ceilings that need painted.

We are looking for donations of money to put towards getting our front metal fence repaired and repainted.

due to the incliment weather our edible garden has been badly damaged. we require soil or compost, to build our raised beds (we have these)

we require vegetable plugs for raised beds

we require material such as bark or gravel to form walkways between raised beds

Equipment ie an iron to maintain the green, our only asset

We are in desparate need of IT in our Squadron. At the moment we are fully relient on two staff personal laptops to teach around 25 cadets. This makes it extremely difficult for our young people to complete their lessons and their exams. It also creates delays in admin duties as the staff must share rescources. We dream of having three desktop computers and around 20 laptops, however anything would be greatly received. Unfotunately the RAF Air Cadets Intranet system isn't fully compatible with Chromebooks.

We would like six office chairs. This would be of great benefit to staff, rather than using the inaporpriate chairs currently in use.

We have a flight simulator which is currently unuseable due to the outdated nature of the computer running it. We would dearly love a gaming computer or laptop which would enable us to run the flight sim, not only for our cadets but to all the squadrons in our area as a learning rescource.

How does the Gift Giving Tree work? · We would be delighted if your organisation/business could support us this year by displaying a Christmas tree in your premises with our special tags, each tag representing a local child or young person in need. Customers, staff, volunteers or participants can take a tag and donate a gift. · Each tag placed on the tree represents a child or young person in our community who may not otherwise receive a gift this Christmas. · Together, we/you invite your customers, staff members, volunteers, or participants and wider community to take a tag and donate a gift in support of a child. Suggested donations include: · Toys or games · Gift vouchers · Sweet treats · Gift sets The value of each gift is at the donor’s discretion. We kindly ask that all gifts are returned unwrapped and in an open gift bag. Children benefiting from the project are identified through local schools, nurseries, youth organisations, and food larders. (From Three Towns, Kilwinning and Irvine) ensuring that support reaches those who need it most Alternatively, if you would like to donate large gift bags or selection boxes we would be truly grateful Gift vouchers or gift sets for older teenagers We are asking for a financial contribution to purchase these items as most years people do not donate for teenagers particularly boys as they do for younger children We want to ensure that all the children referred to us receive a gift at Christmas
