“I have seen the boys come into themselves.One of them was on a microphone talking andpraising other kids. The other one was justtalking to everybody and involving everybody.It brought their confidence levels up a lot;the staff really got them involved.”25sessions
9The Christmas Toy Drive provided Christmas gifts to children offamilies experiencing disadvantage aged between 0-16 years, whowere struggling during this period due to Covid. This project made asignificant difference to the lives of many children, to ensure they hadsomething to open on Christmas Day.We offered a mixture of pre-loved andnew toys for all age groups. We coveredthe whole ML2 area with a specific focuson families within the top 5-10% mostdeprived areas as identified by the SIMD(Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation).Donations came from a wide range oflocal businesses including Pizza Hut,Royal Bank of Scotland and TheAvenue.We partnered with the PTA at Calderbridge Primary and othermembers of the community offering donations to sponsor gifts. Wealso received outstanding support from Coltness High; John McGilp(Headteacher) and the cleaning and janitorial team. We receivedreferrals from Barnardos, Lanarkshire Food and Health Partnership, aswell as many referrals coming from Social Work, Family First andHousing Support services. We also referred to some of the keyvulnerable families we have worked with over the past few months.We recruited 25 volunteers who did the cleaning and sanitising the giftsand wrapping them, organising the shopping, ensuring age-appropriategifts were given. We had a designated driver to safely deliver them tothe families. These families were in struggling situations like financiallyunstable housing issues, some were re-housed, single-parent familiesand families that had language barriers.The delivery teams were overwhelmed by the gratitude for the gifts, evenreceiving a standing ovation; the parents' faces, when their gifts were eitherdelivered or collected made everything worth it.
