Start Up Stirling
Buchlyvie and Gartmore Churches supports Start Up Stirling, with a collection point in both Churches.
Both churches supported the Gate in Alloa for many years providing much produce for redistribution. In September 2022 the Kirk Sessions decided to collect on behalf of Start Up Stirling. For more information visit https://startupstirling.org.uk/
