Thousands of families across South Lanarkshire have used support payments to help with living costs.
New stats have revealed that over 8000 applications across the region have been received for the Scottish Child Payment since it was introduced in February 2021.
The Scottish government brought the funding in a bid to help combat child poverty, with Rutherglen MSP Clare Haughey, who is also the government's children's minister, saying she believes the scheme has been a huge help to families.
