Clyde Shopmobility
2023-02-16 • No comments • • West Dunbartonshire
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 have 3 age groups of young people being Beavers ( 5-8 year olds) Cubs (8-11year olds) and scouts (11-14 year olds). We were founded in 1939 and our hall was donated to us then. The Scout movement is a volunteer lead organisation with all leaders being volunteers. Our kitchen is needing updated to train all our our young people to have skills in the kitchen from maintaining the kitchen, cleaning, washing, preparing food and presenting meals in an individual basis and a group basis to ensure they can prepare meals at camps and holidays plus learn how to cope in life. There are 20 young people Within each group and 4 leaders per group totalling roughly 75-80 people. We would like to build a new kitchen which will be to the benefit of young people in Clydebank.

This will benefit up to 15 autistic people aged between 18 – 35 years who live in West Dunbartonshire.

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.
1st Glen Lusset Scout Group
2023-02-15 • No comments • • West Dunbartonshire
We run our Scout activities from the Scout Hall, Old Kilpatrick. We currently have 82 members within the group.The weekly meetings are structured to allow time for play and learning new skills through organised and approved badge work. If we were successful in our application, we would like to replace the current Xpelair fan heaters with a Mitsubishi Heavy Industry 10KW R32 multi-split air conditioner unit. This unit uses lower GWP refrigerant. Therefore, this new unit would substantially reduce our energy consumption, provide a cleaner air source as well as cutting our carbon footprint. In addition to the use by the whole of the Scout Group the facility is also used by other community groups including, a local theatre group, toddler's music group and a ballroom dancing group.

Clydebank Community Sport Hub (CCSH) was formed in 2012 when 4 local sports clubs came together with the vision of creating a hub facility that would not only provide a home for the clubs but also deliver a variety of outcomes to benefit the wider community. Our project will provide sport and physical activity sessions and workshops on Friday evenings at Clydebank Community Sport Hub for young people aged 11-16 years. The main beneficiaries will be the young people who engage in the project. We will advertise the project through the existing clubs and partner organisations and also ask other local organisations and schools to promote the project.
