It is a milestone moment in the build-up to the gala awards and Claire McDonald, business development manager, said: “We are delighted to be the charity partner for this year’s Falkirk Herald Business Awards and we’re already looking forward to a wonderful night celebrating the success of Falkirk’s local businesses.

“As an independent hospice we need to raise over £12,900 a day to keep our services running. The funds raised for Strathcarron Hospice at the awards will help us continue to provide endless care, love and support to local people facing a terminal illness and we are incredibly grateful to the team at the Falkirk Herald for their continued support.”
