2026 Door-to-Door Appeal Launches!

Every Penny Counts: The 2026 Door-to-Door Appeal Launches!

It’s that time of year again! This week, the Bo’ness Children’s Fair Festival Committee officially launches the 2026 Door-to-Door Appeal. Running from Sunday 19th to Sunday 26th April, a small army of dedicated volunteers will be hitting the streets of Bo’ness to deliver and collect donation envelopes from homes across Bo’ness.

Last year, the appeal raised an astounding £20,051. It was a phenomenal show of community spirit, and we cannot thank you enough. This year, however, we are hoping to dream even bigger and exceed that total.

Why Your Support Matters

We all feel the pinch of rising costs, and the Fair is no exception. To deliver the spectacular Fair Day that Bonessians expect and deserves, we need to raise roughly £90,000. Because the event is funded entirely through fundraising and donations, this appeal week is the lifeblood of the Fair.

To give you an idea of where the money goes, here are some of our “big ticket” essentials:

Requirement	Estimated Cost
Logistics (Equipment hire, road closures, and toilets)	£20,000
The Stage (Where the magic happens)	£18,000
The Bands (The heartbeat of our procession)	£12,000
Safety (Professional Security & First Aid)	£7,000

How to Donate

Our volunteers work tirelessly to visit every home, but we know life is busy. If you happen to miss your collector on their return visit, you can still drop off your envelope at any of these fantastic local businesses:

• The Corbie Inn

• The Wee Wine Bar

• Talking Heads Hairdresser

• Baker Street Post Office

• Spar

• David’s Kitchen

• Sweets n’ Things

• Fiaz’s

And if you operate in a busy house where cash is rarely seen, you can also donate via our JustGiving page.
