Page 10
COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND NORTH COAST & CUMBRAES LOCALITY PARTNERSHIP local women by increasing social inclusion, improving well-being, making learning fun and enhancing skills. Largs SWI Woodworking Club In partnership with Clyde Coast & Cumbrae Men’s Shed and following the hugely successful trial workshop on 8th February, Largs SWI intends to roll out a series of woodworking workshops to the membership and local women in the community. Funding will provide workshops at the Men’s Shed (Bath Street), utilising their equipment, materials and skills, to create individual projects of the women’s choice. Women learning new skills, including confidence building, communication, team working and challenging gender stereotypes will enable them to undertake practical projects in the home and garden. Largs SWI Sewing Club To provide a community hub for sewing classes in the Cameron Centre for beginners and inspiration and encouragement to more experienced sewers in the form of weekly drop-in sessions. Focusing initially on general sewing, the club will ultimately take its direction from the members themselves whilst offering sewing challenges, technical help and masterclasses throughout. Utilising second hand and personal clothing and dead-stock fabric for environmentally friendly reasons: recycling, reusing, repairing and up-cycling clothing, accessories and items for the home. Offering a welcoming, friendly, fun and positive place to meet likeminded individuals, from any social demographic, and learn new skills. To provide a safe place that can help lessen loneliness and social isolation of individuals in the community. Open to all ages of women initially with a men’s equivalent club to be formed if there is demand. Access will also be opened to other women’s groups such as Largs Girl Guides (with their leaders present). The club will access the collective knowledge, expertise and experience of members of the community so that they can help each other throughout their membership. To train the Trainers ensuring a group of people can deliver the classes and pass on the skills. A nominal fee will be charged to ensure attendance however no women will be excluded from classes due to financial hardship. The funding will provide the initial outlay of purchasing 6 sewing machines, equipment etc and ongoing running costs such as hall fees, supplies and servicing of equipment. Sadly, Singer Giving were unable to support our funding bid for 6 new sewing machines due to over subscription.

Please include: • The outcomes you aim to achieve • How you will approach reducing inequality • How this proposal fits with the Locality Partnership priorities of 1. Improving access to financial services 2. Increasing social inclusion 3. Improving mental wellbeing 4. Supporting skills and work opportunities Outcomes/impact for individuals Skill development and empowerment: Women gain new skills in sewing, clothing repair, woodworking and crafting, fostering a sense of accomplishment and self- reliance. Creativity and self-expression: Sewing and woodworking provides an outlet for creativity and individuality, allowing women to express themselves through their clothing and woodwork projects. Mental and emotional well-being: Sewing and woodworking can be a meditative and therapeutic activity, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression and sharpening focus. Financial benefits: Learning to mend clothes, make their own garments from pre- loved clothing and using recycled wood for household and garden projects can save women money. Social inclusion: These classes will reduce social isolation and loneliness and encourage the forging of friendships. Women with access and mobility issues will be included via online access of (sewing) classes. Outcomes/Impact for community Social cohesion and support: Creating safe and warm spaces for women to connect (with each other, male counterparts and the community), build friendships, and share experiences, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Cultural exchange and knowledge sharing: Women of different backgrounds and ages can share their traditions, techniques, and stories, promoting cultural understanding and appreciation. Economic benefit: The club will contribute to the local economy by supporting local businesses, other clubs (i.e. CCC Men’s Shed) and the Cameron Centre (where we hold our events). Environmental impact: Sewing and woodworking can promote sustainability by encouraging clothing repair, upcycling, and the use of natural fabrics and materials, reducing waste and our carbon footprint.

Please include the number of people who have been engaged with or consulted as well as the range of people. In applying for this funding, we are responding directly to the positive interest shown by women in the Largs area. An initial consultation at our first meeting, with 66 women present, and ongoing Facebook reviews and surveys over the past 3 months have shown clear interest in: • The continuation of the Largs SWI • The formation of a sewing club • The formation of a woodworking club We currently have 275 members on our Largs Women’s Facebook Page who contribute to feedback and give ideas for various projects and plans we suggest. We also have 87 members of the private Largs SWI Facebook page; many are regular contributors to the page. We have a six-member committee plus a list of volunteers who will be available to support the SWI, sewing club and woodwork club. 15 Largs SWI members took part in the trial woodworking session, along with 9 men from CCC Men’s Shed. We have an initial waiting list of 70+ women to start attending sewing and woodworking sessions once they are in place (and on a successful funding bid). This is only within the 2 Facebook pages we run, we are confident it will increase when opened up to the wider Community.
