A CLACKS community group is expanding its activities with the launch of a new dedicated space.

Sauchie Community Group unveiled The Cabin at Sauchie Resource Centre on Saturday, July 5.

The new facility, formed from two conjoined containers, will host a range of health and wellbeing activities and allow the group to serve even more residents.

Laura Turner, co-community manager at Sauchie Community Group, said: "We are delighted that The Cabin is open, and we were honoured to have our local MP, Brian Leishman, cut the ribbon.

"The Cabin will focus on health and wellbeing, with a list of exciting activities and events currently being programmed.

"It helps us add increased capacity and means that our group will support more people.

"A special thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund for co-funding the project with Sauchie Community Group."

The group has been supporting the community since 1992 and currently offers activities at its Mar Place base from Monday to Saturday.

Scottish Labour MP for Alloa and Grangemouth, Brian Leishman, attended the launch, cut the ribbon, and joined attendees in celebrating with cake.

He said: "It was a great honour to cut both the ribbon and the celebratory cake at the opening of The Cabin.

"A huge well done to everyone involved at Sauchie Community Group for raising funds for this terrific addition to the community – I am sure it will be well used and I wish all the best to Laura and the team.

"A big thanks also to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting this worthy cause and for helping to make it all happen.

"It was great to see such a big crowd come together for the grand opening."
