Our switch-on event this year will be held on 29 November, with parade, carols, entertainers and stalls. Last year, the event was very popular with the community - it was well attended and the atmosphere was buoyant. We believe this really benefits the whole of Ardrossan inclusively. We are bidding for £2000 toward event costs, including the closure of Glasgow Street. Our Facebook page is 'Ardrossan Christmas Decorations Committee'.

We would also like to be able to provide hot food (such as hot dogs, soup, tea and coffee) for free to the community. Ideally, this donation would include serving the food.

We would like to be able to fund a small gift each for the children and to purchase a festive snow globe. The total cost of these items is in the region of £1400.

We are looking to decorate our facility and require financial support to purchase the materials to do this. For all paints, (Emulsion and Gloss) tools (Brushes, rollers, trays) and floor covering. We are looking for a financial donation of £913.65

We are looking to paint the exterior of our building and we are looking for the materials donated to do this. We are looking for 100 litres of white smooth masonry, rollers/trays and masonry brushes.

IT Skills and ability to post by Social Media channels and collate and evaluate responses

We need work done to our park which is used by some of our community clubs . Specialist greenkeepers required

Finance to upgrade facilities

We would like a water supply at the garden in the form of a standpipe. We gather rain water which provides enough water to service the garden. We are in the process of adopting the towns flower planters with community groups and organisations for which we need to access water. There was previously a building on the garden site and hope there is a water pipe present. We would be most grateful if a company could find a supply and install a standpipe within our garden.

Materials to deliver group sessions - yoga mats, blankets, cushions, sensory lights, resources. £500 would be needed to cover materials. These will be used for multiple ongoing groups

Funding to provide opportunities for people in the community to experience a range of holistic therapies, to improve their mental health and wellbeing and to develop coping skills that will enhance their lives. People who would benefit from the support however do not have the financial means to access them. £1,000 would cover the delivery of the services.

We require labour to paint sections of the ground within the pirate play park. We can provide the paint. It would be a massive help if we could get assistance in the labour of doing this. Kind Regards Donna
