CVS Stirling manned a stall at the Market Place at Thursday's Third Sector Convention at Falkirk College. The event was well attended and loads of organisations enquired about our services. It was also an opportunity to raise the profile of our organisation through practical use of our website and resources. We showed people how easy it was to navigate and find the information they wanted. A

Just a quick note to recommend that you keep up to date with deadlines for different funding programmes. There is funding on offer that is not always applied for, an example being the Cash Back for Communities Fund which had no applications from the Stirling area this round. We find it hard to believe that some youth projects in the area could not have benefited from this fund. £5198 will now be

Christmas is coming, an incontrovertable fact borne out by a growing stream of cards and goodies (sweets, biscuits and such) into the office from friends and clients of CVS. Dangerous stuff for the calory conscious, but it's affectingto get these tokens of appreciation. In fact, the most Christmas-cynical among us are succumbing to the seasonal spirit. Brrrr.Thanks to everyone.

The event held on Saturday 21st of November at the Albert Halls was a big success. Over 300 people supported their local charities through the purchase of Chrismas cards and gifts. 34 charities participated at the event and were not only able to publicise their good causes but raise much needed funds. A rough estimate of monies raised at this time is £6000. Previous years have been more
