What A Summer It Has Been! This picture says it all! 
Now the dust has settled and schools are back, we’re proud to share that The School Bank West Lothian equipped 776 young people with uniform packs for the new school year. Alongside this, our Uniform Hubs supported many more young people with uniforms and essential school items.
The result? Hundreds of children walked through the school gates feeling confident, included and ready to learn. 
But this wasn’t something we achieved alone. Every uniform provided, every pair of trainers donated, every pound given and every social media share played a part in helping children fit in and start the new school year on an equal footing.
A heartfelt thank you to:
Everyone who “sponsored a child”, gifting over 267 uniform packs with such kindness and care.
Everyone who donated brand-new uniforms, jackets, PE kits, footwear and more, especially during the busiest weeks of summer when demand was at its highest.
Everyone who took part in our Fill-A-Bag initiative, gifting bags filled with back-to-school essentials like polo shirts, socks, tights, water bottles and toiletries.
Every person who made a monetary donation, whether large or small. Your generosity helped us purchase vital items and respond quickly when needs arose.
The organisations and funders who held events, donated stock or made donations to support our campaign. Your commitment to local children and families means so much.
Those who gave high-quality second-hand items: helping children access what they need while reducing waste and keeping perfectly good clothing in use.
Everyone who liked, shared and spread the word about our campaign on social media. Your voices amplified our reach.
Those who hosted one of our red donation points, thank you for being community champions and making it easy for others to support local children.
And finally, thank you to our dedicated staff team: Abbie, Roz, Janine and Collette, along with our wonderful Volunteers and Board of Trustees, who all worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make all of this possible.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
