## **Troon Development Trust Chairs Report** Meeting 28[th] May 2025 at 7.00pm Former Troon Old Parish ## **Introduction** Welcome to our first AGM of the Troon Development Trust. I’d like to introduce our Board of Trustees. The Trust got charity status on the 5th March 2025. Prior to that we worked within Troon Together Steering Group. Our Treasurer resigned in July 2024 as he wanted to concentrate on his RBLS duties and couldn’t commit as much time to the Trust however he did get our bank account up and running before he left. This position was then filled by , who was at the time the Secretary, in August 2024. This then left the Secretary position to be filled. took on that role in September of 2024. We also had the very sad loss of our Project Co-ordinator at the end of last year who worked tirelessly to make improvements to the Italian Gardens in the town. This was a project initiated by the Troon Together Steering Group. He co-ordinated the work with the contractor ensuring that things were done on time and within budget. ## **Troon Town Action Plan 2019** The action plan had recommendations for various projects such as heritage/museum centre, a town centre hub that provided activities and events accessible for all citizens of the KA10 area. Mention within that action plan was for the community to take over a Church within the town as a community asset. News at that time was that one of the three Church of Scotland churches was going to close. Troon Development Trust has used this action plan as the mandate for taking forward the plan for community ownership of the former Troon Old Parish Church and Halls. The space available would allow numerous recommendations to be encompassed within the town as well as provide hall hire space for various organisations to hold their activities and events. ## **Public Consultation** Over the year we have had various public meetings. One in former Troon Old Parish Church on 9[th] June 2024 regarding our plans for the former church (speak about this later) and then another one in the Council Chambers in Municipal Buildings on the 27[th] June 2025. We have also had a few meetings with other organisations within the town to ensure that we as a Trust work together rather than against them. Another public consultation was held as a family fun day. More details below. ## **Events** Events that we have held over the past year are:- - Pop-up cinema in the walker hall – equipment donated by Lairds of Troon and funded by grant from Ayrshire Housing. Tickets were free and people made donations. - Wellness event in the former Church in September 2024 – funded by a grant from Ayrshire Housing. There was an advisory £5 donation although entrance and participation were free. Heal Scotland attended and helped spread the word and we had various speakers attend and give health and wellness talks. - Hoops and silks/circus skills for kids – funded by grant funding from the Troon Round Table. Again, this was provided free to participants and was well attended. - We held a public consultation/member recruitment event in November 2024 in the form of a family fun day in the Troon Parish Halls. This was very well attended and there were various activities for everyone to enjoy. The Trishaw Bikes were showcased and the results from the 2019 Action Plan were up on the wall for folk to be reminded and have their say. - Last Friday night we held a fundraising Quiz night. It was well enough attended to ensure that we raised over £150. We have various other events in the planning such as a fashion show and musical event. We hope to get as much support from the community as we can. Whenever you see any events please share with your family and friends. ## **Current Projects** ## Troon Old Parish We have been given exclusivity of future transfer up until 30[th] September 2025. This is a very tight timescale and means that we have to find £200,000 by then. This means that currently we are filling in funding applications from various funding sources to try and get the purchase price to allow the community of KA10 to take ownership of the buildings. It is important to show that the community are prepared to help therefore the plans to hold as many fundraising activities as we can. Please come forward with any suggestions of events and let us know if you are prepared to hold any of your own with the Trust being beneficiary. Currently we are in regular talks with the Architectural Heritage Fund and due to meet with the National Lottery Heritage Fund on Friday 30[th] to discuss funding for the purchase price. We have assistance from various officers within South Ayrshire Council highlighting funding streams available to us. We have been awarded £12k to get out feasibility and business plan done. This will help with funding applications. ## **Tri-shaw Bikes** There was training provided by Cycling Without Age for some of the Trustees and various other volunteers within the community and Spotty Zebras an organisation for children with Additions Special Needs. This will provide a fantastic resource within the community for the elderly, disabled adults and children. We currently have a bike on loan with the plan to raise funds to purchase our own. Some volunteers are now fully qualified with a few others still to be assessed. Once this is done, we can start getting out and about. We will be meeting on the 3[rd] June 2025 to discuss the next steps of launching our own Troon Chapter of CWA. Currently looking at different funding streams that may help with buying our own bikes. ## **Trustee Vacancies** We have vacancies that need filled and are appealing for folk who are interested to come forward. We have one person who has come forward but unfortunately cannot be here today as she is on holiday. She has however currently been helping with funding applications and has extensive experience within the 3[rd] sector. Her name is .
