Our future ambition within East Ayrshire is for all of our young people to progress into a positive and sustained destination. • Youth claimant count unemployment in East Ayrshire has reduced, from 7.8% at March 2014 to 5.5% at March 2016. We will seek to reduce this further and to close the gap with the Scottish average of 3.6%. Case Study Ryan Tomlin, aged 21 years, had been unemployed for more than 12 months. While achieving qualifications as an automotive technician, he found that his lack of work experience meant that he did not get a response from employers when applying for jobs. Following referral to the Council’s Employability Team, Ryan received a range of training and support, including: • Attendance at an employability course and support from a job coach • Assistance with his CV, interview preparation and general employability skills • Regularly attending a work club and accessing job search opportunities • Assistance with a cover letter (with recruitment incentive attached) and sent to several companies • Additional supports available to employers, including Youth Employment Initiative wage subsidy Bridgend Garage offered Ryan employment and he started work in October 2015. He is now working in a promoted post within the Parts Department.

In addition, access to recovery-focused treatment for alcohol and drugs misuse within three weeks has improved. • Problematic drug use remains challenging, with the rate of drug misuse hospital admissions increased from just under 240 in 2013/14 to 256 in 2014/15. Case Study East Ayrshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) supports the award winning Addiction Worker Training Programme (AWTP). The AWTP is a unique initiative which supports, trains, and prepares individuals with a history of problematic drug and alcohol use to work in Social Care, through a combination of in-work placements and formal learning. AWTP is the first project in Scotland to: • offer former drug and alcohol users the opportunity to gain supported work experience and a qualification while receiving a wage for the duration of the course; and • develop a multi-agency approach to employability for former substance users. In 2016, East Ayrshire ADP was delighted to attend the graduation of two trainees from East Ayrshire. Both trainees were known to addiction services for a number of years and one trainee has come through the social work child care system. Both also have experienced the criminal justice system. Since graduating, one of the trainees has already secured employment with a Glasgow housing charity.

The Plan incorporates the SHANARRI principles (safe, healthy, active, nurtured, achieving, respected, responsible and included) and focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of children and young people. • Child Poverty is recognised in East Ayrshire as a crosscutting issue which requires to be addressed across agencies and across each of the three Community Planning Themes: Economy and Skills; Safer Communities and Wellbeing. • As a partnership we also seek to influence the external and national factors which impact on child poverty, such as welfare reform and the so called ‘poverty premium’ in relation to services such as power, telecoms and credit/loans. Case Study Centrestage Community Food Initiative promotes access to fresh, healthy food. The aim is to tackle food poverty, promote self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on foodbank provision. The initiative joins up support services, such as the Citizens Advice Bureau and local communities by providing opportunities to participate in activities, socialise and share a meal. The initiative promotes healthy eating, participation, skills development and volunteering opportunities. Surplus food is re-distributed through the initiative and volunteer cooks prepare meals, while community members contribute what they can to support the model. Within East Ayrshire the scheme was initially piloted in Drongan.

  • KNOCKROON: a SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT in EAST AYRSHIRE Anne and Ian Hope Gave Arran Civic Trust an Insight Into
    KNOCKROON: A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN EAST AYRSHIRE www.knockroon.com Anne and Ian Hope gave Arran Civic Trust an insight into the Master Plan and development of Knockroon, supported by the Prince’s Foundation, which in partnership with other bodies bought Dumfries House and estate for £45M. The house was built by the Adam Brothers and with superb furniture designed for the house by Chippendale and Scottish furniture makers. Knockroon is being built on the outskirts of Cumnock. The Master Plan was drawn up following a weeklong consultation with many different stakeholders. Zero C involved in designs, as they were in the Poundbury buildings in Dorset and the Olympic Village in Weymouth. The designs of houses are typical of Ayrshire houses of the late 17th century to the mid 19th century. The aim is to have a real sense of place. A register of typologies has been drawn up to include such things as gateposts, doors and external fittings, all of traditional designs. 770 dwellings will be built over 15-25 years and the pace of sales will determine the pace of build. Some clear criteria are in the Master Plan. 1. Walkable neighbourhood, building a sense of community. 2. Mix of sizes and types of dwellings. For all ages and backgrounds. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedrooms, flats and houses. 3. Workshops and workspaces within the development. 4. Demand important 5. Good connections to public transport. Auchinleck railway station is 1 mile away. 6. Slow down traffic especially cars so development pedestrian led. Minimisation of road signage, Roads that encourage slow speed; narrow and with bends.
