Share your story

We would be honoured to hear your story. Every story told casts a little more light on the work of NBCC, showing the warmth, relief and joy a Red Bag can bring to children, families and our community. Share whatever feels right for you, a few lines or a longer reflection. You can stay anonymous, and you are always in control of how your words are used.

We know your words are precious, and we treat every story with care. Some choose to share publicly, to reach more people who need a little magic at Christmas; others simply want the Elves to know the difference they've made. However you share, we are grateful for every story you trust us with. Your story becomes part of ours.

How we can use it

How can we use your story?

We keep stories as part of our permanent archive, to show the difference NBCC makes over time, unless you ask us to withdraw or delete yours. Withdrawing means we stop using your story and mark it withdrawn; deleting means we erase your details for good. You can ask us to do either at any time by emailing privacy@nbcc.scot or using our contact form.

We handle your details as set out in our Privacy notice.

If you would like to share something that is not a story, we would still love to hear from you. Please contact us.
