We are delighted to share that Fraser, the creative force behind local small business The Canon Kid, has donated an incredible £500 to BounceOT Stirling CIC

Fraser chose us as the non-profit partner for sales of his 2026 calendar. As someone local to Stirling, he recognised the value of our work and wanted to help us continue supporting children, parents and unpaid carers in our community.

The £500 donation will go directly towards running Finlay’s Superstars, our inclusive Friday-morning sensory group for pre-school children with additional support needs. No diagnosis is required, and the group offers small numbers, gentle transitions and a caring, non-judgemental environment. While children enjoy meaningful and purposeful play, parents and carers can connect, share experiences and receive specialist guidance. 

Our golden rule remains at the heart of every session:

Never apologise for your child.

It costs approximately £3,000 to £4,000 each year to provide this lifeline group. Funding helps us keep sessions affordable, maintain low group numbers, pay staff fairly and provide specialist sensory and play resources. It also protects something just as valuable: a welcoming community where families can feel understood and less alone.

Fraser’s £500 donation is therefore a significant contribution towards keeping the group running. We are incredibly grateful to him and to everyone who supported his calendar sales.

Thank you, Fraser, for choosing to support local children and families, and for helping our Superstars continue to shine.

A huge thank you to Fraser from The Canon Kid for donating £500 from his 2026 calendar sales. The donation will help us continue running Finlay’s Superstars, our inclusive Friday-morning sensory group for young children, parents and unpaid carers in Stirling.
