The first substantial signs of the regeneration of the site was the construction of the Spier's Commemorative Wall, erected in 2010, resurfacing of the paths and roads within the site and the restoration of the Coronation Garden, completed in 2011.

===Youth Making Beith Better (YMBB)===
The YMBB youth group was set up by members of the community to give the young people of Beith and district an opportunity to involve themselves in improving their town and the surrounding area, whilst at the same time providing a forum for learning additional skills, sharing ideas and socialising with their peers. The group was closely involved with the Saint Inan's parade and other local events.

YMBB met in the Beith Community Centre twice a week, supervised by adults from the NAC Youth Services. The YMBB committee included youth members, adults from the community and local councillors who assist in the overview of the group and with forward planning.

===Beith Theatre Group===
Beith Theatre Group began in 1990 and started out as Beith High Drama, as part of Beith High Church raising funds for roof repairs.

When Beith High Church and Beith Trinity Church joined in the late 2000s, Beith High Drama changed its name to Beith Amateur Dramatics, subsequently changing its name to Beith Theatre Group post Covid lockdown in 2022 to reflect the new direction the group has taken.

Beith Theatre Group performs for the community of Beith and the wider community of the Garnock Valley, producing two to three productions a year, all culminating to the widely anticipated annual pantomime performed at the end of the second week of December.

Beith Theatre Group is a charity run under the auspices of Beith Parish Church. It has its own Committee charged with the day-to-day management of the group.

It is a community based group bringing together many from across Ayrshire to perform light-hearted entertainment in Beith, in a safe, inclusive environment where all are encouraged to give it their all.

Beith Theatre Group meets twice weekly on a Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon, any one above the age of 11 can join.
