I'm raising money for Crieff Connexions. Essentially we're a compassionate community charity that's passionate about connecting people to their community, providing food, clothing through reducing waste and reusing items. We also offer emotional support and signposting on to other agencies. Want to know more? See below

This video explains the role of a food larder which is what we run, not a food bank, although lots of our food is free and we try if at all possible not to limit how much people can buy.
Additionally being in food and financial insecurity causes poor mental health so we partner with Mindspace and Parent to Parent to offer free peer support for people struggling with their mental health.
The cost of fuel prevents many low income families from travelling to Perth or Stirling which is the only way to buy shoes and clothes at low cost in our community so we have a second hand uniform shop and a low cost charity shop.
We also offer free events like the clothes swap and plant growing event. On Saturday we had a very low cost table top sale to clear stock and raise some money for our crippling gas and electric bills.
We'd really value any contribution you can make to help with our running costs.
