EATS Rosyth held a celebration event to mark one year since the opening of its new community hub and café.

Last Thursday they marked the occasion with free hot drinks for customers, a special birthday cake and a cut-price burgers and hotdogs.

Piper Dean Saunders also came along to play some tunes.

Charlotte Oakley, general manager, commented: “It has been an incredible first year of the new EATS Rosyth hub and Living Room café.

"The trustees, volunteers and staff worked around the clock to open on May 30, 2023 and we could only have dreamed of how well their hard work would pay off. 

“The hub and café has been a huge success and our brilliant volunteers have brought their enthusiasm and experience to the project.

"They work together and support each other and have fun whilst working the till and barista machine, serving our valued customers, cooking in the kitchen and doing all the important clearing and washing up.”

The volunteers also bake bread, make cakes and scones, as well as run art and craft sessions.

EATS Rosyth was founded in 2016 by volunteers who began the process of transforming unappealing green spaces into productive growing areas.

A small hub followed, but when the old Clydesdale Bank building on Queensferry Road became available the trustees decided to buy it and to develop it into their larger, new facility.

Charlotte added: “The hub is where the community comes together. The activities and events here have brought so many people together of all ages who might otherwise have been isolated over the winter months.

“They have found our events and meals to be so friendly with such a great atmosphere, they have enjoyed the entertainment, meeting people, the great food and in particular Brenda's soup!

"They have also importantly helped us to reduce food waste by taking food from our larder.”
