Recipient Org: Charity Number SC048328
Recipient Org: Description The Charity was formed in 2018 with the principal aim of improving diversionary activities for children in the KA8 area of Ayr which ranks in the top 5% in the SIMD rankings. We have established a detailed programme which supports more than 200 children per week with organised football coaching provided after schools, evening sessions in the community, during school holidays and through our organised teams programme which supports children from age 5-19 and creates a long term player pathway into our amateur and senior football programmes. All activities are provided free of charge so that no one is excluded based on the ability to pay and are designed to reduce social isolation,improve health and fitness, mental wellbeing and improve life aspirations. As a result of the pandemic we have also developed a much stronger social focus, supporting the community through the first lockdowns with emergency food and digital provision and support with the many challenges they face, supporting more than 300 families. Throughout this work we worked at the very core of the community, creating partnerships with other organisations to reach the most in need and following that have responded to feedback and demanded and have now created a mental health support programme focussing on group and tailored individual support.
