Story
This Christmas will be one the likes of which none of us have experienced.
Tragically, too many families will have a loved one missing from their Christmas table this year due to the impact of Coronavirus.
This year has been a difficult one for all of us. Many families are fighting financial pressures as a result of job losses, reduced hours and the rising cost of living.
This means many will go without. Christmas will be stripped back to the very basics.
The G53Together community call centre has taken over 1000 calls in recent months from people in our community in crisis.
So we want to keep the spirit of Christmas alive for everyone in our community, we have therefore launched a toy appeal and community fundraiser.
We’re asking anyone who can to support this appeal by either donating NEW toys to us in person by dropping them into the G53 TOGETHER hub at SWAMP, 37 Brockburn Road, Glasgow, G53 5BG.
Or, if you can afford to make a financial donation please donate here.
This money will help buy gifts for families and to top up our emergency fund that helps families and individuals in need.
Every donation will help support people living in the G53 area.
Thank you
David
Cllr David McDonald
