"We managed to rope in the help of Iain McRae and we set about planning a charity drive among Kwik Fit staff across Scotland."We found Glasgow’s Spirit of Christmas; a charity who help organise donations for other charities and on their website there was many worthwhile causes including 'One Parent Families – Lanarkshire' who had 48 children. "We thought it would be amazing to pledge and fulfil all the needs of the charity for all those children….so we did!"The response was nothing short of amazing!
