ALDI WHITBURN

Eastfield Development Centre, as part of Fauldhouse and Breich Valley Community Development Trust, run a variety of clubs for children from birth to 14 years old. We facillitate a safe space for the babies, children and young people to play and interact with each other. We provide a variety of age related games and activities. We are always looking for resources to help us facilitate these clubs.

The objects for which the group is established are: a) the prevention or relief of poverty in shotts and surrounding areas in particular but not exclusively by providing emergency food supplies to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty; b) to provide services to people who have need of them by reason of their age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage by signposting them to additional support services.

Loganlea Miners Social and Charitable Society aim to help our community by providing a hub whereby the residents can socialise and take part in recreational activities. Our new boxing club will assist in this. We also aim to assist in minimising the poverty gap that exists in our village. We aim to do this by providing affordable good quality food while allowing the individuals to maintain their dignity by charging a small fee. The Village Larder has been set up specifically for this. We have recently joined Neighbourly and soon we will have surplus supplies from Lidl and Aldi to give out free of charge at our Larder. Big thank you to Neighbourly for all your help. The Hub also organises activities for all ages. We have Line Dancing, a toddkers group and bingo for our seniors. We have a summer programme for the local kids. This involves trips away to the beach, farm parks, the zoo and swimmimg. We try to provide a lunch to take on these trips. Our seniors in the village join in with afternoon teas and a Christmas dinner. We also had a trip to the Theatre this year. Access to employment visit our facility every two weeks. We also have visits from The Citizens Advice. West Lothian Financial Inclusion also supports our community by holding FREE coat giveaways.
