Community Groups
The Tannahill Centre is a vibrant community hub at the heart of Ferguslie Park, Renfrewshire. As home to seven commercial leaseholders, whose rent and service charges help us offer low-cost community spaces, we proudly serve as Ferguslie Park’s Community Anchor Organisation.
Key Strands of Our Work
Our community groups exist to support three strands behind everything we do: food insecurity, mental health and wellbeing. and youth work.
Our Food Programmes Include:
- Seniors’ Lunch Club – Up to 50 older adults enjoy a nutritious two-course meal, three days a week.
- T in the Tanny – Free breakfast, tea, toast, and soup served daily for anyone who needs it.
- Community Market (Pantry), Volunteers distribute £20+ worth of food for a nominal £3.50 fee (waived for those who cannot pay).
