We are thrilled to announce we have been awarded a grant of £10,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund to support ACU150 - our year-long anniversary project.
The funding will support us to deliver key parts of ACU150. We will bring together local residents through accessible, participatory music-making increasing connection, confidence and wellbeing.
Care home residents will experience shared musical activity that reduces isolation and supports memory and emotional wellbeing. School pupils and community singers will build confidence and a sense of belonging by working collaboratively towards a shared performance next May with Ayrshire Sings! and working alongside a professional media studio, students from Ayrshire College will gain practical, creative and technical skills through hands-on experience making a short film about Ayr Choral.
The National Lottery Community Fund award means that we can now start detailed planning for these parts of ACU150, laying the foundation for what we hope will be ongoing and lasting community involvement in music in Ayrshire.
