Community Benefits Wishlist Submission

We are currently involved in a major project to expand our existing facility, in line with our charitable aims, to include disabled access and toilet facilities. The project has the support of SportsScotand and will be complete by the end of May 2022. The charity however will need to make a substantial contribution to the project costs which will leave the charity in challenging times managing its cash flow in 2022/.2023. We intend to run a number of fundraising events throughout 2022 and financial sponsorship would greatly assist in that fundraising programme.

We seek to establish an outdoor seating area to enable our disabled and infirm users access our available outdoor space for casual chat group and reminiscing group conversations. Doing this activity outside when the weather allows has a hugely positive impact on our users. We will be laying out the area but could really use some donations of patio style furniture for our members to use in the good weather.

We seek to upgrade our kitchen facilities to allow casual meeting groups and supported functions better facilities to provide light refreshments etc to users. The donation of reasonable quality kitchen units or sink units would be most welcome.

The grass verge outside our museum venue Skelmorlie Secret Bunker Meigle road PA17 5 HF has two large deep trenches caused by the wheels of farm vehicles and HGVs at this passing point.

Building and paving materials such as sand, concrete, paving bricks, postcrete - no deadline but specific project. We cannot get a contravctor to commit and it is a bit heavy for our age fgroup - mostly in our 70s.

We are always seeking compost, bark, fertiliser and gardening equipment. We are particularly looking for 2 strimmers. Plants and shrubs are also welcomed.

The windows in our centre are rotting away and the frames barely hold the glass in place anymore. We are seeking a donation of £1000 to put towards the cost of new windows.

We recently had a roof survey completed and we require an asbestos survey to confirm the findings of the initial review. Our roof is leaking and we are keen to get the right professional advice ASAP so we can keep the hall in good shape for as long as we can.
