Mauchline Community Association SCIO SCO47139
2025 AGM
Annual Report
At last years AGM we had the following Trustees
All Trustee details have been recorded with OSCR as now required.
Our Constitution purposes are:
To provide recreational facilities by the provision of a community centre available for use by the local community and members of the public at large. To advance community development by organising recreational activities at the community centre for the local community and members of the public at large.
Since the last report we have undertaken a number of new and expanded other initiatives for the community, all made possible with the support of our Trustees, Volunteers and Community partners.
A Fun Run and Family Day was again organised in August 2024 at Beechwood Park unfortunately the weather was not on our side and the Family Day was unable to proceed. The Fun Run attracted 150 participants of all ages and went ahead despite the horrendous rain supported by family and friends. Once again the regulations imposed on Voluntary Organisations in arranging such events cannot be overstated.
The Pumpkin Trail for Halloween was once again a resounding success with young and not so young residents within the village. Our Trustees and volunteers went the extra mile in making this free event possible and I am grateful for their ideas and efforts. The Fairy Trail which opened in August 2024 has been supplemented by the donation of tree saplings from The Woodlands Trust the community rose to the challenge of planting the saplings and enjoyed the day. Thank you to the support from The Woodlands Trust, Mauchline Scouts, Cubs, Brownies and Guides and Mauchline Coop for funding for the sapling sheaths. Many visits to the Fairy Trail have been undertaken by individuals and groups from the village and afar.
We have built a Community Website detailing local companies, businesses, and public services for those who are looking for local information.
The Community Pantomime was again hosted for us by Kilmarnock Supporters Club and was enjoyed by over 200 attendees and was followed by the switch on of the Christmas Lights by the Mauchline Community Council. We are grateful to Kilmarnock Supporters Club for once again hosting the Community Pantomime and again to Amey for erecting the Christmas lights in the village with the assistance of our trustees. Responsibility for the village Christmas lights has now been passed back to Mauchline Community Council.
Our successful Breakfast with Santa was once again a sell out and enjoyed by our younger and not so young residents within the village. Santa excelled himself on this visit by posing for photos with his Sleigh and the young residents after breakfast.
Our Community Food Larder, Cupboard @ The Cross was introduced by us on 16 January 2023. The Larder operates on a Membership system at £1 per year and open to all residents of Mauchline and East Ayrshire. Cupboard @ The Cross operates 9.30am-11.30am each Saturday and I am grateful to the volunteers who assist our Trustees in making our Cupboard @ The Cross so successful and beneficial to the 35 (average users per opening) who used it in this financial year.
As the Association we organised successful Litter Picks within the village which were well supported by Trustees, volunteers, and members of the community. Those who participated were rewarded with a hot drink and hot roll after collecting 5 van loads of rubbish and litter.
We sponsored for 3 years by purchasing a ride on mower for Mauchline United to ensure the pitch is in a suitable condition for players.
The Lets of Centre Stane continue with groups/classes delivering Line Dancing, Pilates, Yoga, Zumba, Children’s Dance, Mini Kickers and Burns Bairns who continue to operate from Centre Stane. Several birthday parties have been held at weekends, and the Bouncy Castle continues to prove popular.
We surveyed the young and older residents of Mauchline regarding establishing a Skatepark within the village. The positive responses received led to a meeting of those with an interest in taking the ides forward. A number have become members of the Association to pursue this matter. Discussions have taken place with East Ayrshire Leisure in respect of a CAT transfer, specialist companies who have a track record of delivering skateparks across Scotland and aiding funding. Should we secure the CAT transfer and funding this will be a long-term project. We require an amendment to our Constitution to enable funding and delivery, and we hope that you will support this.
As always and like other voluntary organisations within Mauchline and beyond we continue to look for more volunteers, members, and Trustees to allow us to sustain our service to the expanding Community of Mauchline. I would be grateful if you would promote the Association to your friends, neighbours, and colleagues to encourage them to join our teamff7.
Thank you all for your continuing support over the last year.
