Dear reader,
These are scary and uncertain times for us all.
In the midst of the turmoil we are all searching for comfort and solace. Such reassurance can often be found in the familiar.
The Stirling Observer, with its 184-year history as the trusted source of all news in our community, offers such familiarity.
For generations we have been moved and amazed by the achievements and resilience of our incredible residents. No other news source can provide such a unique insight into local life.
That is why I want to assure you that we will endeavour, now more than ever, to keep you abreast and informed of everything that is happening across our area in the coming weeks and months.
And by that I do not mean just the sadness and loss but also the uplifting stories of our local heroes.
The inspirational individuals, whose selfless acts during these trying times will embody what it means to come from Stirling.
To help us continue to be that constant in your life, we need your support.
Please keep in touch and let us know how this pandemic is affecting you and what we can do to help. Community groups: do you have appeals we could help with? Individuals: are you looking to help but don’t know where to start? Charities: what are you running short of? What do you need the most? See tomorrow's edition of the Stirling Observer for ways to help vulnerable neighbours.
Your loyalty to the Observer is greatly appreciated by us all and will never be taken for granted.
In the coming weeks, life will turn increasingly inward and spirits will need raised.
Please take care and keep in touch at news@stirlingobserver.co.uk.
