A new community space has opened, offering a welcoming base for young people, families and residents across the Hillfoots.
Ochil Youths Community Improvement (OYCI) has opened its new premises at 57 High Street, Tillicoultry, providing a permanent home for the organisation’s youth work and community activities.
OYCI has supported the Hillfoots and wider Clackmannanshire area for almost ten years.
Established following youth-led action research, the organisation aims to give young people a safe place to belong, develop and have their voices heard.
The new hub will host many of its regular weekly programmes for children and young people, while the organisation will continue to deliver outreach sessions across the local community.
The premises will generally be open to visitors from 10am until 2pm on most weekdays when scheduled activities are not taking place.
Residents are encouraged to drop in, meet the team and share ideas about how the community could be better supported. Parents of school-age children can also find out more about the activities and opportunities available.
The hub will offer practical help, including support with printing documents and signposting people to other local services, as well as providing a space for residents to connect with the organisation.
OYCI is also inviting community groups and partners to visit the new premises and explore opportunities to work together.
Details of its regular activities are available at oyci.org.uk/whats-on, while enquiries can be sent to admin@oyci.org.uk.
