Falkirk Older People’s Network Launches Christmas Giving Tree with The 4 Coo Wynd

The Falkirk Older People’s Network (OPN), supported by CVS Falkirk & District, is delighted to launch a Christmas Giving Tree in partnership with local café The 4 Coo Wynd, helping to spread festive cheer across Falkirk District this Christmas.

The 4 Coo Wynd (FK1 1PL) will host a Christmas tree decorated with gift tags representing older adults nominated by organisations within the Falkirk Older People’s Network. Each tag will include anonymous details such as the recipient’s age, gender and a suggested gift idea, helping members of the public choose a thoughtful present while protecting recipients’ privacy.

Launching on Monday 16 November 2026, the initiative aims to bring a little extra joy to older adults who may otherwise go without a Christmas gift, or for whom a small gesture of kindness could make a meaningful difference.

How does the giving tree work?

The Christmas Giving Tree will be available at The 4 Coo Wynd from Monday 16 November – Monday 14 December 2026 at 10am. Members of the public, local businesses, community groups and organisations are warmly encouraged to visit the café, choose a gift tag and help spread a little festive kindness this Christmas. Even a small gift can make a meaningful difference.

Anyone wishing to take part can:

1. Visit The 4 Coo Wynd café in Falkirk.
2. Choose a gift tag from the Christmas Giving Tree.
3. Purchase a gift for the recipient, with a suggested value of £10–£15.
4. Return the gift AND tag to the café by Monday 14 December 2026 at 10am.

Following the close of the initiative, participating OPN member organisations will collect the donated gifts and distribute them directly to their nominated recipients.

Please note: we kindly ask that gifters do not wrap the gifts they are donating, but utilise a gift bag or similar.
