Volunteers from the Salvation Army in East Kilbride are once again working hard to make sure vulnerable children don’t go without this Christmas.
More than 600 local children living in poverty woke up with a gift to unwrap after an overwhelming response to last year’s Toy Appeal.
And despite huge financial pressures facing families this year amid the cost of living crisis and the fallout from the Covid pandemic, the number of families needing a helping hand this Christmas is down slightly with an estimated 550 children in need.
