Gregor Poynton MP has shown his support for local families by donating £100 worth of equipment to The School Bank West Lothian, a charity which provides new or good-quality preloved uniforms for children whose families are facing financial hardshp.

The donation, made during a recent visit to the charity’s collection point in The Centre, Livingston, will help ensure children across West Lothian return to school with the essentials they need.

Commenting, Mr Poynton said:"The School Bank West Lothian does incredible work to make sure no child starts the school year without the essentials they need. I’m proud to support their mission and I know this donation will go directly to helping families across the Livingston constituency and West Lothian.

"I’d encourage everyone who can to get involved, whether it’s donating a polo shirt, a water bottle, or a full set of supplies, every contribution makes a real difference."
