Goodbye old friend, you will be missed

Everyone experiences loss in life, that often-deep pain of missing someone or something that at one point had meant a great deal.

This January the Resonate Together community said its goodbyes to our old venue in Castle Street, Alloa. Over a decade was spent in this warehouse home. Tens of thousands have passed through its doors, friendships have been made (and even one or two proposals of marriage!), choirs have sung, knitters have knitted, and the list of activity goes on and on.

This building, a mix of bricks and mortar, seemed to have an energy all its own. It loved being newly painted, having parachutes hanging from the rafters, it enjoyed silver chairs covered in flowers being a focal point for those having a cuppa and most of all, it tried to look after us.

Yes, it was cold (very!) in the winter, yes, we had to clean the gutters ourselves and yes it also sheltered many creepy-crawlies no matter how often we cleaned each day. But this informal, open space gave us so much and helped an idea become a community, together.
