Bright Start Borders needs your support! We are a small child care organisation seeking to start the Bright Start Jollies programme. This will provide music, dance, art & sport sessions for our Toddlers & After School clubs plus School Holiday trips!

We want to bring a Trishaw to Hawick. The specially designed bike would give people who have less mobility the opportunity to get outdoors and socialise.  Our pilots will transport passengers free of charge around Wilton Park in each of the seasons.

The Old Fish Shop in Selkirk, derelict for 22 years, is now in community ownership and could become a pop-up shop, meeting or exhibition space, or energy advice centre for the community. We have raised £61K and need £15K more to complete the job.

Sea the Change wants to make our beautiful Scottish Borders coast available and fully accessible to people who have a physical disability or may find difficult to walk on sand. Beach access for all.

The Community Centre has to be made wind & watertight & fit for purpose.  Repairing the flat roof using rubberised material and acrylic is expected to last 25 years +. We also plan to repair, replace and paint the guttering, barge boards, & replace some slates on the roof.

Our befriending groups will give 35 children and adults with learning disabilities a great chance to have fun, make friends and improve social skills & confidence. 35 local volunteers’ lives will be enriched and carers will have welcome respite.

The major benefit of this project to our community, and to visiting children, is to provide a safe place for children to interact with one another, burn off excess energy and enhance their personal and social skills through imaginative play.
