There’s Snow Place Like Home
Start Up Stirling’s Christmas Appeal 2026
17th November - 24th December
Your home should be your castle. It should be your sanctuary, haven and happy place. Somewhere to enjoy the festive build up and have everything you need in order to do so. Contentment is warmth on a cold night and food in the cupboards, knowing you're safe at home. However, the basics of food and warmth aren’t a given for everyone.
Each Christmas, Start Up Stirling supports around 500 people with Christmas dinners and food packs. In 2026, our food donations have dropped significantly due to the cost of living crisis, meaning that we have to buy more food to support people in financial hardship and food insecurity living in our communities. It could be your neighbours, family, or work colleague that needs our help. Hardship can happen to anyone, and financial situations can change very quickly.
There are lots of ways that we can work together to make a difference for people who are struggling to make ends meet this Christmas. Visit our fundraising page for more ideas about how you can help.
