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.

We aim to provide local kids and youths with fun activities, gaming groups, sports access and football team development and arts and crafting opportunities. We need sponsorship for setting up a football team and fundraising support to be able to purchase sports equipment and crafting supplies.

We need support to design a new dining area for our Community Cafe to enable us to get accurate costings to apply for funding and signage for the front of the building to encourage pride in the local hall.

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

In 2022, we were awarded £2,500 of funding from The Ayrshire Community Trust which allowed us to set up a Discretionary Hardship Fund which provided financial support to 36 individuals and their families. This enabled us to provide instant, tangible financial support to clients who were struggling most with the impact of the Cost-of-Living Crisis. Due to the demand on our services by people who face financial crisis through various situations, this funding has now been completely utilised. We are requesting a financial donation of £2,500 to match this previous fund; however, a donation of any amount would be very much appreciated. Providing this support allowed clients to top up their gas/electricity meters, purchase essential household items and gain access to food, warm clothing, mobile devices, as well as other various means of support required depending on the clients' individual circumstances. We know that anything can happen to anyone, at any time. We want to ensure people have somewhere to turn, and the discretionary fund allows us to provide that help for people in a tough spot. This can also help people avoid borrowing from friends/family, getting into more debt, and potentially prevent them from turning to high-cost or illegal money lenders.
