Every achievement, every event, and every moment of support has been made possible by the dedication of our volunteers and the support of the local community, who continue to show up, get involved and look out for each other. Together, we continue to create a welcoming space where everyone can thrive and feel connected. Thank you for being part of our journey and here’s to many years of flourishing together."_ — The past year has been an incredibly positive one for everyone at Flourishing Faifley. While we had hoped to be settled into the pavilion by now, the move, delayed until the first quarter of 2026, hasn’t slowed us down. If anything, the year has shown just how strong, supportive and determined our community really is. We’ve seen a huge increase in attendance from both our local community and surrounding areas across our clubs, groups and events. With that growth has come something just as special – more people putting their hands up to help. We’re now lucky enough to have an amazing team of 21 volunteers, all giving their time and energy to support what we do. Over the past year we’ve been able to support our volunteers to gain new skills and confidence through training including first aid, food hygiene and fire marshal training. Watching people grow into their roles and feel confident delivering activities has been one of the real highlights of the year. ## **Groups and Clubs** Our weekly groups and clubs have continued to grow, with between 145 and 167 people attending in an average week. **Family Art and Ceramics Club** - Between 35 and 50 people attend weekly, with families enjoying time getting creative together. **Women’s Walking and Social Group** - Weekly numbers range from 17 to 33 women, meeting for a blether, a cuppa and some fresh air. Some members have now gone on to achieve walking leadership training, allowing them to plan and lead walks themselves. **Book Club** - Our book club has grown to 12–19 members, meeting fortnightly. The group has also attended author nights and workshops, which has been especially positive for members who experience social anxiety. **Parent and Toddler Group** - One of our most popular groups, welcoming 41 children and adults twice a week. Volunteers now hold food hygiene and first aid certificates, and sessions include free play, crafts, lunch, and plenty of tea, coffee and cake for the adults. This group has become a real lifeline for many parents, particularly mums. A supportive sub-group has formed where families share clothes, toys, furniture and advice, helping to ease financial pressures and create a safe, non-judgemental support network. Men’s Mental Health Group - This group continues to grow, with 12 to 22 men attending weekly, aged from 19 to 67. The focus is on getting outdoors, enjoying company and having a break from day-to-day struggles. The group secured woodland space through WDC and now enjoys bushcraft, outdoor cooking, catapult target shooting and fishing. Due to its success, members now run separate catapult target and fishing clubs for the wider community. The woodland has also become a valued space for men to visit with their families, children or on their own. **Gardening Club** - Our gardening club has really taken off, with 7 to 15 people attending weekly. This year the garden produced 154kg of fresh produce, all given free to the community, along with 201 jars of locally produced honey from our beehives. At a time when access to fresh produce isn’t always easy, this has had a huge positive impact. The group was incredibly proud to achieve a Level 5 Outstanding Award from Keep Scotland Beautiful, recognising their work bringing people, produce and wildlife together. ## **Community Events** Our Community Events are open to the whole community and aim to support family activities and events. **Summer Family Club** - Our free family summer club, delivered as part of the Shine WDC programme, was a huge success. Over the summer holidays we welcomed 1,734 children and 1,053 adults, bringing families together week after week. The club focused on outdoor activities families could enjoy together – helping to build bonds, make memories and form new friendships. Alongside fun outdoor sports, we worked with Sense of Nature and West Coast Wings to deliver engaging educational workshops. To help tackle holiday hunger and rising living costs, we provided free lunches and refreshments at every session. We finished the summer with a big garden party that saw over 200 community members enjoying lawn games, crafts and, of course, pizza. It was a brilliant way to end the holidays. **Halloween Event** - Our free family pumpkin picking event was another fantastic day, with 476 children and 351 adults joining us. Our volunteers truly outdid themselves, transforming the garden into something spooktacular. They worked incredibly hard to collect 440 pumpkins for children to take home, alongside organising Halloween games, crafts, prizes for best dressed, face painting and a family photo booth. It was a wonderful example of social inclusion, giving families a free, fun day out at a time when many are feeling financial pressure. **Christmas Event** - Christmas brought more magic to the garden as our volunteers turned it into a winter wonderland, complete with a community Christmas tree and Santa’s post box. Our free family Christmas grotto welcomed 412 children and their families, who enjoyed festive crafts, cookie decorating and a visit to see Santa himself. Every child received a small gift and a selection box. At a time of year when loneliness can be high and budgets are stretched, it meant so much to see families coming together to share in the festive spirit. ## **Awards and Recognition** Flourishing Faifley was honoured to receive the TPAS National Good Practice Award for Communities Supporting Communities, as well as Tenant Group of the Year. These awards mean so much to everyone involved and reflect the dedication, kindness and hard work of our volunteers and community members.
