Life Beyond the Glassworks project and the Thursday Club

That this House congratulates the members of the Thursday Club in Alloa on the completion of their remarkable Life Beyond the Glassworks project, undertaken in partnership with the University of Stirling’s Faculty of Social Science as part of the Festival of Social Science; recognises that this year-long oral history initiative has trained and empowered local participants to document and celebrate Alloa’s heritage and community spirit through a new documentary film; pays tribute to the hard work, creativity, and dedication of the participants, many of whom face barriers such as unemployment, disability, and social isolation, yet have shown outstanding commitment to developing new skills and confidence; commends the organisers and researchers involved for their role in capturing the lived experiences and collective memory of the town; and celebrates this project as a shining example of how community-led storytelling can strengthen social inclusion, pride, and connection.
