Update on Christmas Donations and Offerings
Stirling and District Women’s Aid was the beneficiary of our Christmas Gift Service donations and the Manager and Senior Children’s Worker sent us the following letter:-
I am writing to you to thank you for the donations to Stirling and District Women’s Aid this Christmas. Due to your generosity the children and women we support we were able to make sure that there were Christmas Presents under the tree in many homes this Christmas.
Your donations goes a long way and we were able to put on a Christmas party for the women and children in our refuge and make sure that they all had food hampers providing them with some Christmas fayre.
Christmas time is a particularly difficult for women and children fleeing domestic abuse as they often have had to leave their homes, belongings and toys to move into temporary housing, or into our refuge. Your support is vital to us and enables us to provide the service we do and we are very grateful for all you do for us.
Our Christingle Service offering amounted to £63.80 and will be sent to The Beatson Institute in Glasgow.
The Watchnight Service retiring offering realised £195.44 with the beneficiary being Crohn’s and Colitis UK.

New Facility
Roy Anderson gave an update of the process of establishing the new facility to the Kirk Session in December.
Following a meeting with the combined committeees, Roy was certain that the project would eventually come to fruition. It was agreed that a smaller building be designed and the project would be done in two stages with the second stage being completed when funds were in place. This would involve putting a second floor on the building. The total cost would likely be around £200,000.00.
It was also agreed that a professional fund raiser be hired to point the group in the correct direction for raising public funding.
That meeting with Roy Anderson took place on Saturday 7th January. It proved most fruitful meeting and a report will be given at the next meeting on 30th January when the combined committees are scheduled to meet again.
The outcome of these meetings will be printed in the next issue of LKN.
