A disco was held in Sauchie to bring people together for an afternoon of dancing and fun.

The event was organised by Gillian Dowell and Sandra Fisher of Key Housing on Friday, March 27 at Sauchie Public Hall.

It was set up to bring together people with physical or learning disabilities from different groups, such as the Whins Centre, to have a fun afternoon with music.

Gillian Dowell, support worker at Key Housing, told the Advertiser: “It was good! We had approximately 80 people from quite a few organisations.”

There are now plans to hold more discos in the future.

She added: “We've got two dates lined up with the hall, but we're just waiting for confirmation from the DJ. So, we're hoping for one in the summer, one at Halloween and then Christmas.

“We'll obviously have the Halloween theme and then Santa Claus at Christmas and stuff like that.

“We've started the ball rolling, as they say.”

Pamela Caruthers, team leader at the Alloa Whins Centre, said: “We were invited by Key to attend and those we support were delighted to be involved. It's really great to have a local service working with those with learning disabilities in this way as it promotes inclusion.

“Collaborative working ensures that people we all care for in the community are able to spend time with old and new friends in a fun way.”
