Dalmuir Barclay Church	Clydebank	Donation of money to support local community projects	Since the beginning of May last year we have been supporting Old Kilpatrick Food Parcels as a distribution centre for the food bank. Our Sanctuary floor has had a great many crates of food stored on it and tins of food etc dropped on it so it is showing a bit of wear and tear and a few dents as it is a hard wood floor. Over 100 adults a week are receiving food parcels made up in our Sanctuary, a lot of floor space is being used. We would love our Sanctuary floor to be re-sealed and varnished to restore its beauty. Also the area if the front vestibule area the special non slip matting flooring is looking very bad and worn. It has been open to the elements every week as the doors are wide open on Wednesdays and now Fridays for food distribution. The door matting is also special as it look like a non slip type of grid which is fitted. Also looking for someone who holds a certificate to erect platform scaffolding so that we can wash the light shades in the Sanctuary and replace lightbulbs that are out. We have our own platform scaffolding I have found this area of the form the most difficult to fill in as I have only one option to choose - either cash, materials or labour. The work our Sanctuary floor is needing is specialist work and I wish a contractor out there would be available to provide labour and materials. We would be so very grateful for any work that could be done.	01/02/2022

The Clydebank Sea Cadets	Clydebank	Donation of money to support local community projects	We are a youth charity that uses a nautical medium to provide young people, aged 10 to 18, with a head start in life. One of our principal outputs is to boost the physical and mental wellbeing of our youngsters.

Importantly, our starting point is to provide a safe and friendly environment for our young people, a place where they can make friends and feel part of a family. We try to be as inclusive as possible by setting our monthly subscription at £12 per child and by subsiding those who do not have the means to pay this or for equipment or activity costs. As we receive no income other than our subscriptions we welcome any donation to us and guarantee that it will go exclusively towards helping a child to a better future. We are a purely voluntary organisation that gives from the heart.	01/02/2022
Clydebank FC U20s Development Team	Clydebank	Sponsorship of local sports team	Clydebank FC U20s Development Team operates separately under the badge of Clydebank FC and play at train at Holm Park, Yoker. We are self funded but take no money from our players other than any fundraising they volunteer to take part in. On match nights at home we are lucky to accept donations at the gate from our fans and have a few sponsors on board that have helped with team kit and balls etc for the club. The team currently sit top of the Scottish Lowland Development League and need 3 wins to take the title. Money still remains extremely tight as we need to continually keep on top of equipment and have to pay lease fees for training and match let's. Any funding that is available would greatly benefit the club and players of Clydebank FC.	03/03/2022

Dynamite Gymnastics Club	Clydebank	Provision of labour to support local community projects	We rent an industrial unit in Clydebank business park and are liable for all costs and maintenance in the property. We have a shutter that is letting in water and flooding the gymnasts break out area - we have tried to fix it by replacing a seal along the bottom but we can't seem to stop the water coming in when it rains. We would love for someone to be able to source the leak and fix the problem. All of our gymnasts would benefit as we have just done up their break out area and bought new tables and chairs but can't lay the new floor until we stop the water coming in. We were kindly donated a new floor to put down but it will get ruined if we can't stop the water.
