Community Benefits Wishlist Submission

We are nearing the end of a project to install a state of the art concrete skatepark in Orr's Park, Beith. We raised over £200k to make this project possible. Due to increased costs and unplanned for costs we have a shortfall in the budget for landscaping. Our contractor did not budget for an access road and Sportscotland required us to provide floodlighting, NAC did not give permission to use the lighting already in the park and we had to bring in a new supplier. We have had a landscaping quote for £24k from a local and reputable company and need to raise £8k to meet this. We feel it is extremely important that the landscaping is undertaken to a high spec and embeds the skatepark in the park. We require the landscaping work to be completed in September 2024. We require a financial donation to meet a deficit in our budget due to increased and unexpected costs during construction. We require this money as soon as possible in order to complete the project. We are committed to giving young people in Beith and further afield free access to a first class leisure facility. The skatepark build started in April 24 and we are keen to conclude the project by the end of September 24. Thank you.

As the club has been inexistence since 1972 in its current facilities, the roof of the building is currently in need of replacement, and as such a funding package is required to be built. At present as a club we are facing barriers with obtaining quotes and require professional assistance to cost the project, select the roofing material most suitable due to it being a flat roof, and help the project to get started and a funding package built. At this stage there is not a deadline, although we would like to progress as soon as possible.

We are looking for assistance from anyone who can assist with either sponsorship to the club, to help with project costs for our wellbeing support, or anyone who has experience and expertise in utilising fundraising apps, websites, etc to help develop this area of the club to ensure we can continue to provide all our services. We hope to be started with this as soon as possible.

We are looking for a donation of £1,000 to help support the staffing costs related to our TimeToTalk Mental Health project, as the project delivers a lot of support as well as running a 24/7 trauma line, which is open to those experiencing any kind of trauma the costs associated with this are high and any financial assistance which could be provided would be invaluable to help us continue to deliver this necessary service.

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.

We are looking for some garden furniture and new plants for the individuals to make their garden look more welcoming.

£1000 or gift cards for Home Bargains/B&M for different gardening and household equipment

We need new windows installed in our Chapel building, a small hall that houses community activities.

We require interior design input for our accommodation units to make them attractive, welcoming, and functional for our community. Fresh skilled creativity and experience would be invaluable in achieving this goal.

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.

A printer so that I can print of journals/resources that I am making for groups

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
