The ourchristmas.fund website, is the innovative creation of Mr Stevenson who launched it today (Friday) at 9am. Rather than sending out individual Christmas cards, Mr Stevenson designed his own website to spread Christmas cheer.
Mr Stevenson said:
“Local SNP membership in my constituency now stands at 1300. I decided that I would take the money that it would have cost me to send out cards, and invest it in good causes in the Banffshire and Buchan Coast constituency.
“At ourchristmas.fund users can donate to any business, school or group of their choice in the local area. It is up to each individual how much they donate, and they suggest which group should receive money and why. I will match each donation made through the website until I reach £1000.
“This way smaller businesses, schools, or groups will be able to receive an extra gift this Christmas courtesy of their friends, neighbour as well as their local MSP.”

For those who would like a Christmas card from their MSP, a card can be downloaded from Mr Stevenson’s website.
All money collected will be redistributed in the New Year and accounts will be published at the end of February showing where the donations have gone.
