ASA has been working with the schools and Active schools Managers and have identified families who would benefit from a grant to help pay for food or heating, over 20 families were identified and £2000 was given out in grants. This was done with support from STV appeal welfare fund.
With help from our partner organisations we have also donated 400 individual activity packs to individuals all over Ayrshire and 100 group packs to schools and local colleges. The packs consisted of the SDS activity cards which we printed and laminated, a ball, a tennis ball, a balloon and a list of adaptions from household items to show families that they do not need to have sports equipment to stay active whilst we are all in lockdown. We have been delivering these packs over the past few weeks.
ASA has received grants from the Community Recovery Fund and The Trefoil Trust which will ensure activity can provided when restrictions allow.
