Check out whats on this summer in the Garnock Valley :)

📣 A nationwide summer programme of free and low-cost sporting activity has been launched this week by North Ayrshire Council in partnership with Sportscotland 👇

The £20 million 2026 initiative, funded by The Scottish Government and facilitated by Sportscotland, will offer young people aged three to 26 the opportunity to get active and maybe try something new.

This summer, it’s game on, and the 2026 Summer of Sport is a unique opportunity for communities across Scotland to embrace the excitement of sport and physical activity 🏆🤸⚽🏸🎊

With activities running throughout the summer and beyond, young people across our North Ayrshire’s six localities will have access to a range of free events, helping to remove barriers to participation and ensure more young people have the chance to get involved.

➡️ Confirmed events for June 2026 can be found in the catalogue: Summer of Sport catalogue on our Community Planning Partnership website: https://northayrshire.community/summer-of-sport-2026/

The Connected Communities team has also engaged with primary and secondary aged school children over the last few months to identify the types of activities they would like to see in the area.

Alongside our main partner K:A Leisure, North Ayrshire Council’s Community Learning and Development Service including Locality Teams, North Ayrshire Youth Work and North Ayrshire Active Schools, are working with a network of partners to ensure these opportunities are available to everyone, regardless of background.

The funding will enable the delivery of activities designed to help young people develop healthy habits, build stronger social connections, and foster a lifelong love of movement.

The programme is designed to remove barriers to participation, helping young people build confidence, make new friends, improve wellbeing and develop a lifelong love of being active.

A wide variety of activities will take place across communities throughout the summer, with specific sessions, venues and times listed for each local area.

A reminder for parents and carers that free breakfast is being offered to all North Ayrshire secondary pupils this week and every school morning until Friday 30 January 2026.

All secondary schools will be offering a free breakfast to pupils every school morning which includes either a hot roll or two of the following: fruit pot, croissant, cheese scone, pancake or toast.​

It is hoped the warm breakfasts will take some of the pressure off families when the cost of living bites hardest 🍴

Thank you to our catering staff who have helped provide these warm breakfasts when the young people need it the most.
