Silverton Summer Play
2023-02-15 • No comments • • West Dunbartonshire
Silverton Summerplay was a group set up over 25 years ago by a group of parents with children at Knoxland Primary, Braehead Primary and St Patrick’s Primary to give the children in p4-p7 a week of fun activities in the summer. We are now a committee of 12 volunteer parents from the 3 primary schools who continue this on an annual basis. We meet as a committee every 2 months to plan fundraising events and also the fun week. Our fundraising consists of discos for over 100 children as well as an annual bag packing in a local supermarket. These funds are then used to book a fun day at Knoxland and various days out visiting parks and amusement parks. This funding will be used to cover the costs of the coaches we hire for the trips and also towards the park entrance for the children. All families who take part in the summerplay week will benefit. The cost of the week has been £50 and any additional funding would help to keep the cost of the trip to this level with the cost of the buses increasing over the last few years.
FireCloud
2023-02-16 • No comments • • West Dunbartonshire
FireCloud was started by a few young ‘Bankies’ in 2007. 16 years on, we work with 500 people annually from Whitecrook, Drumry, Linnvale, Parkhall, Hardgate, Faifley, Dalmuir, Old Kilpatrick, and Duntocher (and another 2500 people across Glasgow). We are based in Our Holy Redeemer Church House, Clydebank. We will use the money to employ a sessional youth development worker to help grow our current youth work into a sustainable ‘academy’ style programme for teens (11-18). 11-18 year olds in Clydebank and the surrounding areas will benefit from this funding as will the families of the teen participants, the adult volunteers who help deliver the programme and the wider community. If our young people are given a chance to be a force for good in our community then the ripples of that goodness will affect the whole community.

Gavinburn Parent Council
2023-02-15 • No comments • • West Dunbartonshire
We are Gavinburn Primary School’s Parent Counci who meet on average once a month and our aim is to help promote partnership between the school, its pupils, its parents and the community. We develop and engage in activities throughout the year which support the school, education and welfare of the pupils. We identify and represent the views of parents on not only the education provided by the school but any matters affecting the school, education and welfare of the pupils. We strive to increase social and well-being opportunities for our pupils and community. We would like to fund the purchase of outdoor wear for pupils of Gavinburn Primary School. We will purchase waterproof jackets and trousers, fleece jackets and wellington boots to allow more outdoor learning for the pupils. Gavinburn encourages as much outdoor learning as possible and considers itself to be an "outdoor" school. Our pupils will benefit from this funding.

Based in the heart of Clydebank serving all ages of our community from art classes, Music Making for adults, Music school for youths, creche area and toddler groups, Gaming, Pool tournaments, Fortnite and FIFA tournaments, Karaoke Club, Magic School, Cooking School for adults and Meditation classes. We are applying for funding for a special filming project that follows teens around their areas who keep saying ‘Nothing to do.. or I’m bored’. This mini documentary film will be a week-long diary of times and places where they can access services in their local community. This will consist of community youth groups within the local area and highlight the activities on offer at certain times and days. We will work with our youth film making group to plan, write, film and edit the documentary as well as take part on screen. The youths within the Clydebank area will have a chance to join our filming group and take part in this fantastic project. This can benefit all the families who have youths that keep hearing.. ‘I’m Bored and there’s nothing to Do…’
Clyde Shopmobility

We are a Shopmobility centre, based in Clyde Shopping Centre. We offer provision to people who may require assistance to get out and about, especially in the shopping centre. We are aware of the social isolation and want to start up a Boccia group which is suitable for people of all abilities and ages. We also want to encourage young people to come along. Boccia is a paralympic sport and we would look to join Disability Sports Scotland to get support from them.

We are a parent council of approximately 15 members supporting 350 pupils within the school. We do this by meeting regularly with school senior leaders to discuss school issues and ways the parent council can support the school. We do regular fundraising that helps to supplement school funds, which are used to enhance the children’s educational experience. Fundraising is done through events such as Christmas and spring fairs, bounce-a-thons, sponsored walks. The money will be used to purchase Chromebooks for Knoxland Primary School.
