Argos Stranraer

Welcome to ‘Fed Up’. The new community cafe in Stranraer. Set up in 2018 with the aid of local funding organisations and local business donations, we are able to offer free food, drinks and support services to those who need it. We have a base of volunteers who give their time up to help run ‘Fed Up’ and without these volunteers, we would not be able to do this. Our goal is simple; to help reduce poverty and social isolation by offering a place for people to come and feel welcomed. A place to get a good meal and not have to worry about the bill. A place where we work with local services to direct anyone in need of support or help, to be able to get the help they need. Everything we do is given for free in hope that we can make a difference. If it is a food parcel or a bit of advice or even to know you have been listened to... that’s why we are here. On top of that we are aiming to help train anyone needing it, in life skills, cooking, serving and socialising. These skills are perfect to take home to be able to cook a healthy meal or to have the confidence to apply for a job, or even have an input as to how the community cafe runs.

To provide a safe meeting place for the elderly and provide affordable nutritious meals. We prevent social isolation, keeping our members independent just that bit longer which in return improves their confidence and their own Health and Wellbeing, Every day there is fun activities that are tailored to the needs of our members. We can provide transport locally and further afield. We run a Meals on Wheels service to our local community

The aim of the playgroup is to promote the aim of the scottish pre-school play association which is to advance the education of pre-school children so that they may take a constructive place in the community, and also the education of their parents and other adults, children and teenagers
