Stirling’s community is rallying once again to ensure children and young people facing a host of difficulties will at least have a better festive season.
Not only does the appeal exist to ensure no child goes without a gift on Christmas morning, it also aims to show vulnerable and disadvantaged young people - and their families - that their community and neighbours care.
Appeal coordinator, Observer reporter Kaiya Marjoribanks said: “Every year we acknowledge that part of the reason for the appeal is to show youngsters and their families that their community is not oblivious to their struggles and admires their bravery.
