Forehill Library at 31-33 Mt Oliphant Crescent is a hive of activity!
Your local library is an ideal place to spend some time and is open to all ages 0-100! Why not check it out and try something new?
There are board games and jigsaws, a knit and natter group, a colouring book station and as colouring books are increasingly found to be a good source of therapy and relaxation- adults are catered for here too!
Tea and coffee is 50p a cup.
You can make use of the computers within the library, or you can take your own laptop and share the FREE wi-fi.

South Ayrshire 1000 - Citezens’ Panel
South Ayrshire Council with its partners in the public and voluntary sectors, wants to survey attitudes and views on public services and policy issues.
Citizens’ Panels are a way for local people to provide feedback on a range of issues and influence decision makers. The South Ayrshire Citizens’ Panel is called “South Ayrshire 1000” as it is the intention to have 1,000 members on the Panel. We have managed to recruit around 850 people who live in South Ayrshire who volunteered to http://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/sa1000
The Scottish Government has recently set up a national website highlighting the role of community councils.

SAVE FOREHILL POST OFFICE
We, the undersigned, are opposed to the proposed closure of Forehill Post Office, which is widely used by our local Residents and those from surrounding areas. We call on the Post Office to:
- find a suitable alternate location for the post office within Forehill shopping arcade
- fully consult with local residents on any future proposals

Saw this on FB and wanted to share.
“For all those people out there alone or in families who end up self-isolating, let's start a movement that if there is something tied to their front door handle; maybe a teatowel or ribbon etc, it means they need someone to collect essentials for them and would alert neighbours that assistance is needed. I'm thinking of the elderly living alone with no family nearby or single parents.”
We could make a difference in our wee area if we share this post with FB friends and by word of mouth.
Here's what we can do. Let folks know that if they are in need during this pandemic, they should tie a tea towel to their front door handle to alert folk. All we have to do then is keep a look out for this signal. If you see it, chap the door and ask how you can help. It may be just taking them a loaf or a pint of milk, or helping them contact their GP. Doing this one small kindness could make all the difference to folk who are alone and who really need a hand. Like and share if you are ‘in’. And then keep your eyes peeled.
