All donations will be used to make up 'winter warmer packs' which will be distributed to families in Greater Govan, Ibrox and Kingston
A leading charity is appealing for help from the public for their Govan-based project, ‘Help Keep Wee Govanites Cosy’, which aims to ensure that children in the area are able to stay warm this winter.
Children and young people have been hit hard by a wide range of pressures sparked by the pandemic’s impact on education, social life and activities, and employment opportunities for parents and carers. Janet Weir, Development Support Officer at Govan ‘Together for Children’, said: “When we spoke with community members and our partners who support families, many of them were expressing worry about how they will keep warm over the winter.
“We would like to collect enough donations to make 1,000 packs but we are relying on people’s donations to reach this goal, so we need everyone’s help to ‘Keep Wee Govanites Cosy this Winter’.”
