Refugees arriving in Scotland have given a kind gift as they arrive from pupils at a Lanarkshire primary school.
Pupils at James Aiton Primary in Cambuslang teamed up with the Glasgow charity Refuweegee to help out youngsters from the likes of Ukraine.
The big-hearted P2 pupils wanted to ensure the new arrivals in Scotland were given a taste of Scottish life as they settled into their new home.
Class teacher Rebecca Wells told Lanarkshire Live: "We created welcome bags in P2.
"Each child designed their own canvas bag and wrote letters to local companies for donations. We filled each bag with children’s goodies, cereal and toiletries, and then donated them to the charity Refuweegee to give out to children arriving in Scotland.
"Each bag had a Scottish twist, with a caramel wafer inside kindly donated by Tunnocks, and each child also made a welcome card with a short welcoming message inside."
Refuweegee was established with the aim of providing a warm welcome to forcibly displaced people arriving in Glasgow.
As a result of the amazing response from people in Glasgow and beyond, they have provided over 10,000 community-built, personal welcome packs and emergency support packs to people all over Glasgow and across Scotland.
They hope to enable the existing community into extending the friendly welcome that Glasgow is renowned for.
The packs will now be distributed to those in need.
