KCP will rent two units from Falkirk Council for just £1 so they can keep helping the community
A Grangemouth charity that is supporting people through the cost of living crisis will be able to transform two vacant retail units at 21 and 54 Charlotte Dundas Court, Grangemouth for the nominal rent of £1.
However, members of Falkirk Council 's executive heard that having larger premises will allow the charity to expand its services to include a school uniform exchange, a clothing and baby equipment bank and a cookery school along with other activities.In the new units - formerly a butcher and a Post Office/Spar shop - the group will continue to run the food bank and also open a small community cafe that will include providing local school pupils with meals.
Work on the property will be funded by a dilapidation payment received by the council from a previous tenant, of £30,000, while Ineos community projects will donate another £30,000 to fit the units out. Councillor Paul Garner said that groups like KCP were "a necessity for far too many in the current cost of living crisis".
