The Gate Community Hub The Gate Charity was set up to prevent or relieve poverty and to improve the conditions for marginalized and vulnerable people within the Clacks Community.

The Gate is a local Charity set up to prevent or relieve poverty and improve the conditions of life of marginalized people, facing exclusion, vulnerable or homeless in the Clackmannanshire area. We do this by undertaking projects which offer practical help.

💙 A little extra warmth this winter at The Gate Soup Pot! 💙

As the colder months arrive, we want to make sure everyone has somewhere warm and welcoming to spend a little time.

From Tuesday 3rd November, the Soup Pot will be staying open for an extra hour over the winter months! 🥣❄️

Food will still be served from 12pm–1pm, but the extra hour will give everyone the chance to stay a little longer, enjoy a cuppa, play some games, have a chat and spend time with friends.

Sometimes it’s not just about a warm meal, but also a warm space, good company and knowing there’s somewhere you’re welcome. 💙

We look forward to seeing you there! 😊
