For many of the children we help having access to For many of the children we help having access to brand new items is rare and a buying a new school bag can be way down the list for families who are struggling financially.

Thank you to Katrina (Charities Co-Ordinator of Wr Thank you to Katrina (Charities Co-Ordinator of Wrap Up Lanarkshire) and her lovely helpers from the Motherwell and Wishaw Rotary Club, for delivering a donation of many second-hand winter jackets. With the onset of winter, Rotary Clubs across Lanarkshire collected donations of good quality jackets which they are passing on to a number of organisations helping people in crisis. Courtney, our Project Assistant, was delighted to receive this donation and we will ensure these are used in our packs over the coming weeks. Thank you to everyone who donated and for making this happen! 👏 #theschoolbankwestlothian #togetherwearestronger #kindnessismagic #wrapuplanarkshire #wrapup #rotary

St Vincent de Paul in Linlithgow St Michaels RC Ch St Vincent de Paul in Linlithgow St Michaels RC Church kindly donated 11 brand new adult jackets for teenagers. When it comes to donations, we receive far fewer donations for older children, so these jackets are gratefully received. Thank you! David Moran (Secretary, SSVP Linlithgow) said "when allocating funds we aim, where possible, to help the poorest and most vulnerable in our local community and, moreover, we are acutely aware that children are all too often caught within this category. The service provided by The School Bank West Lothian, especially with winter approaching, makes a real difference and we are delighted to support this fantastic charity." Thank you to everyone who contributed and made this happen. 💖 https://www.facebook.com/stmichaelslinlithgow/ #theschoolbankwestlothian #everychildmatters #letsnotforgetourteenagers #westlothian #winterwarmerappeal #stvincentdepaullinlithgow

Are you thinking about doing a "Secret Santa" this Are you thinking about doing a "Secret Santa" this year? Make sure your gift makes a difference! Why not secretly (or not so secretly) donate items to the School Bank West Lothian instead of exchanging the usual presents. Let's be honest, how many novelty gifts and seasonal socks do we need.... If you want to get involved, consider donating some essential items that we can use in our uniform packs in the new year when donations are typically very low! Some suggestions of brand new items that would make a difference: - School bags - Stationery - Socks/tights for ages 5 to 17 years old - Welly boots (shoe sizes infant 8 up to adult 2) - Toiletries for teenagers #giftsthatmakeadifference #theschoolbankwestlothian
"What do we live for if not to make the world less "What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other" George Eliot.

Referrals are pouring in and packs, including your winter warmer packs, are flying out the door. We really couldn't have coped with the demand without your generosity! THANK YOU! 💖 #theschoolbankwestlothian #childpoverty #winterwarmerappeal #letshelpeachother #westlothian
