We need your help to make Bridge of Allan shine this Christmas!
We love the vibrancy of the village over Christmas, the decorated shop fronts, nights out, carol singing, Christmas trees and the cheer. A big part of this is the Christmas lights. Each year we aim to raise at least £5500 to ensure the ligths can go on, and that we are prepared for repairs and eventual replacement.
Many of our wonderful light’s sponsors have been with us for over the years, local businesses giving back to the community of families remembering their loved ones.
This year we are asking anyone and everyone if they can pitch in no matter how big or small. You can donate online to the Crowdfinder by following
this link. Download and display a copy of
our poster. Or you can find collection tins in the Hardware Store, Allanwater Cafe and Leanne Kerr Hairdressing.
We have set a switch on date of Saturday 2nd December for an event in the Provost’s Park, more details to come soon.
So come be part of it, donate what you can.
Together we can brighten Henderson Street this Christmas.
