Today we celebrated the work of our A-MAZ-ING Volu

Today we celebrated the work of our A-MAZ-ING Volunteers over a cuppa and cake. ☕️🫖🥐🥨🍰 It was a lovely opportunity to meet up as a group and talk about the valuable role all our volunteers play in the success of our organisation and the difference their hard work makes to local children in the community of West Lothian. Our volunteers have helped shape what we do and we had fun looking back at photos of how our office has changed over the six year we have been established.

NEVER FORGET THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE! We truly appreciate all you do for us. Thank you! Collette (Project Manager) and Abbie (Project Worker) 🥰👏

Can you help? We need lots of large re-usable bags

Can you help? We need lots of large re-usable bags please!
Every one of our uniform packs are put together lovingly by our staff/volunteers before being placed into a re-usable carrier bag (like the ones pictured below).
Every month we help over 100 children and that means we go through a lot of bags which is extremely costly!
Please share and help us!
Thank you. ❤️🥰👍🙏

Our project "School shoes for local children" has

Our project "School shoes for local children" has been put forward to a customer vote!
Help us provide footwear for children in West Lothian. Not having footwear can mean a child is unable to attend school and this has a huge impact on their wellbeing, educational attainment and ultimately their life chances. You can help us change this for our children in West Lothian.
Customers can vote using their blue tokens in Tesco stores of Linlithgow and Bo'ness. Voting is open now till end of March 2023. If we secure the highest number of votes, we will receive £1,500. This award would help us provide footwear for approximately 100 children.
To vote, ask for some blue tokens while paying for your shopping then just pop them in the School Bank West Lothian slot at the Tesco Community Grants stand, it’s just before the door on the way out of Tesco.
Please like and share this post, as every vote counts. 🥰❤🥾👟

Thank you once to the amazing volunteers from Q2labsolutions! 👏 Sorry, we are a bit late posting, but just before Christmas, two lovely ladies from Q2labsolutions volunteered with us checking and sorting through items donated to us from the public. Having these items sorted means we can add second-hand uniform and a jacket into our packs over the weeks ahead. Thank you ladies! 🥰

Thank you to the amazing staff at Q2labsolutions for these amazing donations of zippers and joggers - given just before Christmas. Having the right PE kit is critical to fitting in and feeling part of your school community, and can improve attendance levels and reduce bullying. Thank you to all who donated and made this happen - you are making a real and tangible difference in our efforts to support some of the most vulnerable children in our local community. We couldn't do what we do without your help! 🥰

Huge thank you to Darren and the squad at Livingst

Huge thank you to Darren and the squad at Livingston North Amateur Football Club who play at Inveralmond. They had collected donations just before Christmas and these consisted of winter boots and PE kit. Darren kindly dropped off the amazing donations today and we know the children benefiting from these items will be delighted to receive them. Having good quality joggers and zippers means children really want to participate in PE rather than shying away from taking part as they don't have the same kit as their peers. The winter boots mean children can walk to and from school keeping their feet warm and dry. Thank you! 💖🥰👍

A huge thank you to our wonderful helpers who drop

A huge thank you to our wonderful helpers who dropped off a Christmas Eve box yesterday for a local boy. The children and their family took time out of their busy lives to create the box for a local child and it included PJ's, housecoat and lots of lovely edible treats that the boy will be able to enjoy the night before Christmas. We were truly humbled by this kind gesture. Thank you all!

Melts your heart doesn't it! 💖

A local 10 year old boy had a little (well really a big!) clear out of pristine soft toys and build-a-bears. He kindly donated them to us to pass on to local children and thank you to this lovely lady for dropping them off to us. We know the children receiving these will love them as much as he did! Thank you! 🥰

A big thank you to the members of West Lothian 50 Plus Network for their kind donations collected at their Hub for our Winter Warmer Appeal. It really means a lot to us and the children who benefit from our service. 🥰

Anne Webster (Chair, West Lothian 50 Plus Network) said "our members enjoy taking part in this and admire the work your charity does for the children of West Lothian. And we stopped in at Tesco's in Bathgate on the way home and dropped some blue tokens into your section!"
