Community Benefits Wishlist Submission

The donation of 4 staff iPads would greatly improve efficiency, enhance safeguarding accuracy, modernise our systems and enhance communication with parents through digital platforms. This will reduce staff workload while increasing the quality of interactions with children. Ensuring our staff had up to date technology systems would also increase employee health and wellbeing.

Donation of flooring materials for the area between our indoor and outdoor space to be covered. Outdoor learning has so many benefits to the children at early years such as increase confidence, improving mood and emotions, imaginative role play, try new challenges and respect for nature. We have a small area that would benefit from some sort of flooring being laid so that it was easy to clean, accessible for children and easier for them to go in and out the playroom to the outdoor space.

Provision of materials and labour to build a secure outdoor bike storage shed, 4x2.5 m. This will allow us to increase the number of bikes to be refurbished and hold a wider range of bikes for offer to the community.

Provision of materials and labour to build a secure external wood storage shed, 3x3 m, This would allow us to free up much needed floor space in our workshop and allow us to offer more opportunities to our members to participate in woodworking projects

We would like to organise a Robert W Service verse-speaking competition for Garnock Valley Children. It would require just over £1000 to deliver this event including prizes and organisational costs.

Donations to support ongoing project costs

Petrol wrough terrain grass (walk behind)cutting machinery.

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
