A Donation Station was set up at St John Ogilvie Primary School in Bourtreehill to help families affected by the cost-of-living crisis.The school's Early Years Practitioner, Anne Sommerville, started the project in response to feedback from parents with just one rail of clothes - and now has five filled with goods as well as food on offer.Anne said: “Starting the station was in response to finding out that parents have been struggling in recent months due to the cost-of-living crisis.
The rising costs of food, clothes and life in general is what sparked the project.“I thought it would be a great idea to start a Donation Station.
It started as one rail and some food, and it very quickly gathered arms and legs. I have parents coming in and using it all the time.“Through social media, we managed to get some more donations and we set up about four or five rails.
We have clothes for children, teenagers and adults as well as shoes, some bags and nappies. It’s really worthwhile and it is getting used frequently.”Awareness is currently being raised among North Ayrshire Council staff to ensure that everyone knows about their ongoing responsibility to protect the rights of the children.The council’s top priorities include tackling child poverty and supporting residents through the cost-of-living crisis.
