Story
Local people are being asked to keep the spirit of Christmas alive by donating to this year’s Provost’s Appeal.
With the cost-of-living crisis set to make this winter even more challenging for local families in need, the appeal aims to ease some of the financial pressures they will feel at one of the most expensive times of the year.
Not only will the monies raised through the appeal help put presents under the tree for children who may otherwise not receive a gift but also food on the table.
Provost Robert Bissett said: “I know the past few years have been extremely challenging for us all, and this year is no exception with the cost-of-living crisis impacting us all. But I also know that Falkirk Bairns are kind-hearted and generous and hope many will donate whatever they can to support those who need a little help this Christmas.”
Last year local people helped raised £2325 which brought some Christmas cheer and sparkle to the lives of dozens of families living across the Falkirk area.
Including one mum, who wanted to remain anonymous, who said: “After losing my children’s father, it was great that they still had an amazing Christmas. It was so nice to know that other people cared and were willing to help.”
Another added the appeal had ensured “both of my children got Christmas presents”.
She said: “I was so relieved that I didn’t have to get into debt to afford Christmas presents for my children.”
How it works
Our Social Work teams work with partners in the third sector to ensure children and families in greatest need get support through the appeal.
Monies raised will pay for a range of gift cards, purchased by Social Work and distributed to families to help them buy gifts, food and other items unique to their situation.
By helping to raise £2,500 you’ll make it a December to remember for local children and families struggling to make ends meet.
