THE CAUSE
Start Up Stirling have been supporting our community for 30 years. We offer crisis food, home starter and helper packs and wraparound support.
We distribute crisis food, feeding over 400 people a week in the Stirling area, covering the whole 844 square miles our local authority is responsible for. From food banks in the more densely populated areas, to deliveries in the rural parts of our communities, we provide a lifeline to those who would otherwise go hungry, cold or fall into debt.
Our crisis food is by referral only, with 41 local agencies and services directing those in need to our staff for review. In 2023 we received 2,200 referrals which is our highest number yet, distributing almost 147,000 meals in the Stirling area. Our referral numbers continue to rise.
Our services are vital in the area. If you would like to support what we do please enter our Christmas draw for a chance to win a fabulous prize whilst raising much needed funds for our charity.
