  • East Stirling continue to give youth its chance.
  • why not: East Stirling continue giving youth its chance.
  • I would say that's acceptable too, but CONTINUE TO GIVE (or CONTINUE TO any verb ) is better in most cases, though it is longer and more formal.
  • CONTINUE GIVING is like KEEP ON GIVING and it's fine, but less formal.

marix998what about start preparing and start to prepare
In my opinion, there's very little difference.
START PREPARING kind of implies a LONG or CONTINUOUS process of preparing, but the difference is subtle, if there is any.
