Barrmill Park Workday — Important Update

Please note that January’s workday will take place on Sunday 11 January at 11:00 am, instead of our usual Saturday session. We hope everyone can still join us.

The change is to coincide with Jean Gilbert’s memorial event, which will be held later the same day at 2:00 pm, followed by tea in the hall.

Our workday tasks will include giving the hall, car park and bridge a thorough tidy.

We’ll also be installing a new tawny owl box in the park and carrying out repairs to several existing boxes that have been damaged by woodpeckers and squirrels. Here's a picture of one, with the hole massively chewed!

Thanks for your support — we look forward to seeing you there.

Happy new year
Carrick and the Barrmill Conservation Group

A reminder for parents and carers that free breakfast is being offered to all North Ayrshire secondary pupils, every school morning throughout January 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.
