Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the Christmas Hamper Appeal. A number of filled Hampers were delivered to relatives and neighbours within the local area. We were also able to make a sizeable donation to the East Renfrewshire Food bank based in Barrhead. They were delighted to receive such a generous donation at this time so well done to everyone who donated.
A big thanks also to all the pupils who helped prepare the Hampers for delivery.
