Kindhearted children at a Livingston primary school have been helping spread Christmas cheer to older people across West Lothian.
Pupils at Peel Primary have donated bags full of goodies which are being shared with members of the Food Train across the region.
They have collected the festive treats after children in primary four learned about the charity’s work to help people aged 65 and over live better lives at home.
Their Helping Hands Project gave them insight into the work done by volunteers to ensure that older people do not just go without essential shopping supplies, but how good company and good meals makes a huge difference to their lives.
And, such was the impact of hearing that story, that the children decided to gather some gifts which are being shared across the region. They also created special Christmas cards for Food Train’s volunteers and designed bookmarks for members of its library service.
Lorna Farquhar, Food Train’s regional manager for West Lothian, said: “This is the third year that we’ve taken part in the Helping Hands Project and it’s brilliant. The children are amazing.
“The whole school has got behind the collection. These bags of happiness from Peel Primary will deliver some real cheer to older people across West Lothian this Christmas. It makes a real difference to everyone.
