Funding towards a Social Outing with Transport and catering for residents
Waverley Court Residents Social Group
As a Group of Retired Residents we meet socially and try to keep active arranging social activities internally and many charity fundraising events over many years. We would like to treat our residents to a day / afternoon out with a lunch or afternoon tea supplied. However as the prohibitive cost of coaches and mini buses make this an impossibility we would ask you to consider us in your purusal of your funding.
Project Studio
Cove Park
Project Studio is a Cove Park programme for teenagers in our local area. It offers free 5-6 week blocks of creative activity, including workshops, trips, and events, centered around self-expression and creating community for teenagers interested in the arts, activism, environmentalism, and wellbeing. The programme is supportive of young people with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. Previous Project Studios have included workshops in photography, art & activism, sculpture, printmaking, and music. The programme will run from 1st April 2026 through to 31st March 2027 and will be designed by our Curator of Engagement using former artist residents of Cove Park to help design and deliver each session.
Junior and new member recruitment
Garelochhead Bowling Club
We are growing within the local community and are aiming to add more members to the club. We have the largest number of junior bowling members within the local area and we are hoping to add more opportunities for the community. We have recently set up a junior ‘working group’ which enables the juniors to use their voices and aligns with the UNCRC which they are aware of through their education. At our recent meetings with our junior members, they shared that they would benefit from new sporting kit that they can choose and again helps to highlight their voices. Through our stepping stone style membership, we have opened the doors financially to those in the community who could not afford the full priced membership straight away. This has allowed us to gain more members who have been enjoying the bowling green. We do not have a wide range of bowling equipment and appropriate footwear to offer to those who wish to give bowls a try.
