Many of us are having a "clear out" at this time o Many of us are having a "clear out" at this time of year. If you are, please think of us when considering where to donate your second hand items. We accept good quality second hand clothing for children aged 4 to 18 years old and this includes all school uniform (no logo items please), gym kit/hoodies/joggers/t-shirts, jackets, trainers, school bags, wellies, football boots and waterproofs. Our volunteers check all items donated and they are split into two piles (1) excellent/good quality second hand items we can use and (2) items that are past it we pop into our rag bag box and this is turned into cash which we use to buy new stock that we need. Please be considerate when donating e.g. empty pockets, wash items and remove all names from clothing. Please see below for a full list of our drop off points across West Lothian. https://schoolbank-westlothian.org/drop-off-points/ We also have a rag bag container outside our offices (Dryburgh House, Meikle Road, Kirkton Campus, Livingston, EH54 7DE) for any items that are past their best (please ensure all items are in a bag before placed in the metal container).

Last week saw the children of West Lothian return Last week saw the children of West Lothian return to school and we issued 522 uniform packs to children from families experiencing financial hardship. We couldn't have done this without the generosity and kindness of every single person and organisation who supported us over the summer period, including: 💛356 sponsors who donated a uniform pack for a child so they could return to school return for their new school year. Each uniform pack was put together with a great deal of thought and we appreciate the time and effort taken as well as your generosity. 💛Everyone who donated brand new uniform, jackets, lunch boxes, water bottles, school bags, PE kit, footwear, stationery etc. These donations are equally important and allow us to provide the extra packs needed, particular at the later end of the summer holidays, when we need to have stock here to provide uniform packs at very short notice. 💛All monetary donations which allow us to buy the stock we need, again so important. 💛Organisations and funders who held events, donated stock or made a donation to support our campaign. A-maz-ing! 💛Everyone who donated excellent quality second-hand donations. We sort these and top up our uniform packs with the excellent quality items that look like new. 💛Those who like and share our FB posts as well as talk to their friends and families about how they can get involved and help support this campaign. 💛All those who help by having one of our red collection bins in the community. 💛Collette, Teresa and Courtney in the office and our volunteers, including the Board of Trustees, who all work tirelessly behind the scenes. A big THANK YOU to you all, we couldn’t do it with each and every one of you! #everychilddeservestobeincluded #togetherwecanmakeadifference #kindnesscounts #theschoolbankwestlothian The demand for our service continues all year round so please continue to support us and watch our Facebook page for updates.

We are always humbled by how thoughtful and genero We are always humbled by how thoughtful and generous people are. 🥰 Sometimes it brings a wee tear to our eyes! 😭 Recently we received a uniform pack from a Sponsor, Jane, who told us she donated the pack in place of a 25th wedding anniversary present for Christopher and Catherine-Mary Thomas. Both Christopher and Catherine had requested she do this instead of giving them a gift. How thoughtful and so very kind. 💛💛💛 Thank you for the beautiful pack and helping us to ensure a local child returned to school this week, feeling good, looking smart and able to focus on their learning. #youareawesome #kindnessismagic #theschoolbankwestlothian

If you are feeling the pressure of rising costs, y If you are feeling the pressure of rising costs, you are not alone. It’s been an incredibly challenging year and we can help. With only 3 weeks left before schools return many of us are now starting to think about buying uniform, school shoes and all the other little things that our children need for going back to school. The cost soon mounts up and we know it can put a lot of pressure on families. We can help provide brand new uniform, a jacket, PE kit and footwear for children attending school in West Lothian. Click here https://bit.ly/3euCXd2 to register your contact details and we will be in touch within 5 working days.
