💚 **A wee favour from our Gate community!** 💚

We’ve had a few people say they’re missing our Facebook posts and not seeing our adverts for events and activities. We know it can be frustrating when you find out about something after it’s happened!

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t show everyone every post from pages they follow, so sometimes our news gets lost in the mix.

There are a few wee things you can do to help:

👍 Give our posts a like
💬 Leave us a comment
🔄 Share our posts with friends and family
❤️ Pop onto our page now and again to see what’s happening.

The more you interact with our page, the more likely Facebook is to show you our posts in future.

We’re always sharing news about our community café, social groups, classes, markets, charity shop, events and the support available at The Gate, and we’d hate you to miss out!

So, if you see this post, give us a wee 💚 in the comments to let us know you’re there!

Thanks for supporting us and helping us spread the word around Alloa and the wider community. 😊

**The Gate Charity 💚**
