A leading charity is urging people to follow the example of a West Lothian woman and become one of its volunteers.
Childline Glasgow, run by UK-wide child charity NSPCC, urgently needs new volunteers to become counsellors on their free helpline.
The service saw a 40 per cent reduction in the number of volunteers during the pandemic because many people had to isolate to protect themselves or family and were unable to attend the Glasgow centre.
