To celebrate Stirling's 900th anniversary and Start Up Stirling's 30th year, The Thistles have agreed to a unique experience, a guided tour led by Dr Murray Cook of Stirling's hidden medieval Dirt Raw, sealed under the Thistles over 40 years ago and featuring access to the hidden section of the Thieves' Pot, an element of Stirling's City Wall, the best preserved in Scotland and built during the Rough Wooing to deter the English from forcing the infant Mary Queen of Scots marrying Henry VIIIth's heir.
All proceeds from this event go to Start Up Stirling.
2024 marks 30 years of Start Up Stirling supporting those living in hardship in the Stirling Council area. This is only possible with the generous donations we receive from individuals, organisations and funders.
We would love to take your extra food and unwanted gifts off your hands this January! Start Up Stirling has its 30th anniversary this year, and we need your help. By gathering all of your new unwanted gifts, we can use them for our fundraising, increasing our fundraising capacity, and recycling them to do something really good, to help people living in hardship in our communities.
This year, Start Up Stirling is inviting our supporters in our communities and businesses throughout the Stirling Council area to join us in making this Summer a Summer of Fun for the children, families and people that we support with our services.
