The Cornerstormers are group-led and driven by the people we support in Ayrshire. They meet up every month with different people taking charge of chairing a meeting as well as taking notes. As well as holding discussions, the group have organised a variety of successful events such as a sponsored local walk and the in-branch Star Awards 2022 and 2023. The group recently held an ‘Old Classic Style Fun Day’ to raise funds to hold the Ayrshire Branch Star Awards for 2024. 

There was a fantastic line-up of activities, including Beat the Goalie, an Egg and Spoon Race, Basketball Hoops, an Obstacle Race, Beanbag Toss, Paddle Ball, and Tin Can Alley.

There was even an impromptu football match between Team Bessie Dunlop Court and Team Castlecraigs Court, which added to the excitement! Colleagues, families, and friends generously donated some delicious home-baked treats, making the day even sweeter. Our CEO, Hazel Brown, made a special trip to Ayrshire to present the medals adding to the celebrations. 

The growth in confidence and independence among the people we support since becoming part of the Cornerstormers has been inspiring. The Cornerstormers have grown to become a community of leaders whose voice is heard and at the very heart of Ayrshire branch activities.
