Apparel Xchange - Donation Appeal for uniform, casualwear and footwear
The demand for clothing packages over the summer has continued, as more families are seeking some support with uniform and casual wear.
We are asking if you have any unwanted clothing, footwear, warm layers which can be donated to ApparelXchange, who provide clothing packages and low cost options for families.
If you do, it is easy to donate by filling in this form and requesting a drop off location or a collection from your home.

Please don’t buy new to donate, we are not asking for anyone to spend money. We are focused on reusing and redistributing what you no longer need.
Thanks so much for your support.

Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme:
The Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme is back and it will help fix flat tyres, loose brakes and clunky gears to get folk pedalling again.
Finances are tight for many people at the moment, so we know it can be difficult to pay for essential bike repairs. If you need a helping hand to get your bike into shape, this scheme provides free repair and maintenance work up to the value of £50.
Find out more and book your place on our website.
