Big-hearted Lanarkshire residents came together to raise more than £1000 that will help local families struggling to make ends meet.
Grass roots community organisations, Charity@Home and Resourceful Community Volunteers, once again joined forces, raising money by selling clothing, baking, food and other items during a family fun day hosted by Andrew Rayson and partner Gary in the front garden of their Wishaw home.
Catherine Craig is the driving force behind Resourceful Community Volunteers while NHS worker Andrew is a work colleague of Angie Cheney who along with friends and family members runs Charity@Home, which operates from a container in a gated-yard in the town. They regularly hold open days selling nearly new clothes and other items and then buying food vouchers with the proceeds, which are donated to local families.
