How You Can Help

Volunteer

Do you have talents, skills, experience, interests or hobbies you would like to share or improve through volunteering?

Our volunteers are the core of our work, and without them we wouldn’t achieve a fraction of what we do. If you join us as a volunteer you will:

  • Help others within your community,
  • Expand your social circle,
  • Fill your day carrying out a rewarding role,
  • Meet new people,
  • Be part of a team,
  • Learn new skills,
  • Gain valuable work experience to enhance your CV,
  • And most of all, you will have fun!

You decide how many hours you would like to volunteer. All training will be provided and most roles are based within The Gate Centre.

If you would like to know more, email Jane@the-gate-charity.org or call or text  07769202454

Donate

We could not operate our services without the help of our generous community.

Our food bank and essential services rely on the generous donations of the wider community. 

Food can be donated at our main premises from 10-3pm, we also have donation stations in Alloa Asda and Lidl, as well as in the Tullibody Health Centre (Alva Medical Practice).  

You can donate to us via  Give As You Live, or you can contact us and we will arrange a standing order for repeat donations. 

If you have unwanted goods that you think would be appropriate for our charity shop, you can drop them off during business hours at 69 Mill Street, Alloa.
