The hard work and dedication of all our amazing volunteers was recognised with The Gate winning ‘Community Group of the Year’ at the Clackmannanshire Third Sector Interface Volunteer Awards.
We are incredibly lucky to have such compassionate and generous team of volunteers, committing their time and energy to the benefit of the community, and it’s wonderful to see their contributions recognised.

A massive thank you to all staff & customers at Asda Alloa. The Gate Larder had a pop up donation station last week where we collected 510kg of food in 35 large crates.
It was a very successful collection and will go a long way to helping feed people in Clackmannanshire. Thank you for supporting those in food poverty.
