THE Yes Christmas shop was officially opened last week.

Launching the store on Monday (1 December), Holden Christie (aged two) and Roman Quinn (three) cut the red ribbon with a little help from Santa Claus.

A project by Women for Independence (WFI) Clacks, Yes Clacks and Radical Independence Campaign (RIC), the pop-up shop aims to make the festive season magical for everyone.

Items can be purchased for a donation and profits will be donated to The Gate Foodbank and Sauchie Activ8 Foodbank.

Donations of items will be gratefully accepted and the store, at 1 Coalgate, Alloa, is open from 10am-4pm Monday to Saturday, until Wednesday 24 December.
