ST NINIANS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS UPDATE!
We have some FANTASTIC NEWS to share!
Thanks to your generosity, our Crowdfunder campaign, private donations and successful funding applications, we’ve raised enough money to purchase ALL 12 CHRISTMAS LIGHTS planned for St Ninians this year!
Even better, Stirling Council has now completed the installation of the electrical sockets and circuit breakers required on the lighting columns where our new lights will be displayed.
So, we’re nearly there and we’re on target to switch on our Christmas lights on Friday 27th November!
BUT WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP!
Although all 12 lights have been purchased, we still need to raise funds to cover the costs of installation, taking the lights down after Christmas and storing them safely until next year. These costs add up, so every donation, no matter how small, really does make a difference.
AND THERE’S MORE!
There are plans to put up a Christmas tree at the Toll Shopping Precinct and we are actively looking for a local business or organisation to sponsor it. If you or your business could help, we’d love to hear from you!
A CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION FOR ST NINIANS!
A small procession is planned from the Library to the Christmas tree, culminating in carol singing and the big switch-on!
St Ninians Library and Friends of Mayfield have been fully involved in the campaign, with a series of Christmas lantern-making workshops planned at the Library in the run-up to the big day. There will also be a gathering on switch-on day, with more details about this to follow.
CROWDFUNDER PAGE
Regarding our Crowdfunder Campaign page. It may look like we are not doing that well, but the reality is we have done way better than the page suggests. We have managed to secure at least 3 times more from private donations and funding applications. What you see in Crowdfunder is what has been raised in Crowdfunder only. Please don't be put off and think that this campaign is failing. The lights have been purchased, we just need to get them up.
A HUGE THANK YOU!
We’d like to thank everyone who has donated so far, shared our appeal or helped us along the way. A number of local businesses have already contributed, and we’re incredibly grateful for their support.
We’re so close to bringing some extra Christmas sparkle to St Ninians, but we still need your help to make it happen!
PLEASE DONATE, SHARE OUR APPEAL AND SPREAD THE WORD!
If you can help with donations, sponsorship or anything else, please get in touch.
Let’s make this Christmas one to remember and LIGHT UP ST NINIANS!
