To highlight child poverty in our community, on Sat 12th December, local people will be bringing music to your ears.
They will be playing round the streets of the Queenzieburn and Kilsyth to raise money to buy Christmas presents for local children in Kilsyth and surrounding villages, who are in need.
We would be delighted if you could show your support, either by foot-tapping or clapping along from your doorstep. It would also be amazing if you were in a position to be able to donate a little money to help fill their buckets.
This is part of a 12-hour Pipe and Drum-athon around Kilsyth, Croy, Queenzieburn and Banton.
