School Uniform Bank - Back to School & Nursery (South Crieff)
2025-02-07 • No comments • • South Crieff
2025 will be our fourth year running our Back to School Pack. In 2021 we provided 152 packs, in 2022 - 340, in 2023 - 400, and in 2024 we provided 512 Back to School Packs and 91 Back to Nursery Packs (our first year running this service). Our Packs are available to anyone who lives in these wards.
What is in a Back to School Pack?
Our packs include 3 shirts, 2 bottoms, 2 jumpers/cardis, 2 PE t shirts, 2 PE bottoms, a PE jumper and a school bag. We also aim to include school shoes and/or trainers plus stationary and other back to school essentials like pack lunch boxes or pencil cases. Everything a child needs for taking part in their school journey.
What is in a Back to Nursery Pack?
Our Back to Nursery packs include 5 days of mix and match outfits; 5 jumpers, 5 t-shirts, 5 bottoms, messy play clothing, a seasonal jacket and footwear. We also add in extras such as sun hats, vests and socks as we know children need these items to fully participate in their learning and no one comes home clean after one day in nursery!
Packs are personalised to each schools colours and the child’s style preferences (so you can tell us if they won’t wear shorts, or will only wear cardigans!) and their sensory needs to make sure the packs are made to suit the individual. We also ask for bag colours and characters and try our hardest to match up to their personal style. We believe our service should make the child feel confident and comfortable that they match their peers.
SO IF YOU THINK THAT...
- All children should have access to high quality school uniform?
- We should protect our environment and make positive pre-loved clothing choices?
- By making little changes to our own lifestyle to support others we can make big changes for the future of our children?
Then please support us by voting for our Back to School & Nursery Pack project. Thank you.

Crieff Juniors Walking Football
2025-02-04 • No comments • • South Crieff
Crieff Juniors Walking Football Club are looking to increase participation of Walking Football for those living in the South Crieff area and beyond. We are looking to increase our participation by offering free sessions and involve additional age groups. Currently sessions are targeted at 50+ although we have a couple of younger players with additional needs participating. We are also looking to offer female only sessions to increase participation.
We are also hoping to participate in a national league and possibly enter tournaments which are held throughout Scotland.
Regular participation in Walking Football has been shown to offer numerous health benefits, including:
Improved cardiovascular health:
Enhanced mobility and flexibility:
Weight management
Mental health benefits:
In addition to the health benefits, Walking Football offers significant social advantages, such as:
Building social connections:
Encouraging teamwork and cooperation
Inclusive and accessible
The primary objectives of the proposed increase in the Walking Football programme are to:
Increase participation in physical activity among older adults and individuals with limited mobility, females and those with additional learning needs.
Enhance the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of participants through regular engagement in Walking Football.
Foster a sense of community and social connectedness by providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all participants.
- Raise awareness of the benefits of Walking Football and promote its adoption as a valuable sport for older adults.
The successful implementation of the additional Walking Football sessions will require funding to cover the following key expenses:
Facility rental: Strathearn Community Campus £350
Equipment: Purchasing footballs, bibs, markers £269
League and Tournament Fees £650
In conclusion, the Walking Football programme offers a unique and valuable opportunity to enhance the health and wellbeing of adults in our community. Improve physical fitness, mental health, and social connectedness. We kindly request funding to support the development and expansion of this programme, enabling more individuals to experience the numerous benefits of Walking Football and fostering a healthier, happier community.
Crieff shinty
2025-02-04 • No comments • • South Crieff
For the last year and a half, coaches who live locally from stirling shinty club along with Active Schools Coordinator for Crieff & Fairview Nick Keiller, have been running primary age after school clubs in crieff.
A club session for primary aged kids has also developed this with kids playing in local and national festivals and competitions.
Currently crieff has access to plastic first shinty equipment , but to move to the next level and start sessions in the high school, we are looking for wooden sticks, helmets , balls and Multi purpose goals.
This equipment would be used for outdoor school competitions , from primary and secondary schools, festivals, PE lessons and after school clubs
We hope to develop Shinty as a sport for the local community where kids will grow up to be part of local club, and be part of a traditional sport that is at the heart of many areas in scotland, which can grow in strathearn, as it has for clubs in Lochabar , Badenoch, Oban, Inverness to Glasgow.
Cycle Crieff access to renovated and repaired low cost bikes and training
2025-01-29 • 7 comments • • South Crieff
We want to enable more local people to access cheap or free bikes that have been serviced by our volunteers. We are currently needing a store for bikes that need serviced and this fund will help to build this. We also need to make our workshop wind and waterproof and this will contribute to this work. Once this is completed we will then be able to train and help local people to service, store and maintain bikes, all for free!!
We want to identify families that would benefit from our charitable aims and support all members to enjoy the wonderful local cycle routes. Imagine a picnic on Lady Mary's or a trip for great coffee and cakes at Farmton Honesty box?
We will help all those that need follow up servicing and help them to see cycling as accessible and an easy way to get about Crieff.
The Crieff Film Festival Youth Workshops.
2025-02-07 • No comments • • South Crieff
The Crieff Film Festival Youth Workshops, scheduled for 9-10 August 2025, cater to young people aged 5 to 16 years and are designed to engage them in the art and craft of film production. This initiative is a collaboration with local organisations , which provide ideal locations for hosting the workshops. Experienced industry professionals will guide the participants through various aspects of filmmaking, including cinematography, editing, and scriptwriting.
The workshops aim to educate and inspire participants by offering hands-on experiences that could ignite a lasting interest in the film industry. The programme also incorporates a competitive element, challenging the young filmmakers to apply their newly acquired skills in a practical and creative setting.
This collaborative effort with local arts organisations and educational institutions is intended to foster a community spirit and provide a supportive environment for learning. It offers a unique opportunity for children and young people in Crieff to explore creative careers, develop new skills, and gain confidence in their abilities, thereby enriching our local cultural landscape and supporting the development of future talent in the film industry.
Our goal is to not only provide a creative outlet but also to foster a deeper appreciation for the arts and potentially spark future careers in the film industry. These workshops promise to be engaging, educational, and most importantly, fun for all involved
