Monklands charity benefits from Coatbridge building society toy appeal

COATBRIDGE building society staff are spreading Christmas joy to vulnerable families across Monklands through their festive toy appeal.

The kind-hearted team from the town’s Nationwide branch and their customers donated a host of toys and toiletries to Monklands Women’s Aid in Airdrie to support victims of domestic abuse as a result of this year’s appeal.

The team gathered a haul of more than 100 toys and gifts for vulnerable women, children and young people, thanks to the generosity of their customers from the local community.

Kirsty Anderson from Nationwide said: “The support the community has shown for this cause during the pandemic is incredible.

“We have had so many members dropping in gifts throughout the month of November for mothers and their children for the Christmas period. We can always rely on our members to put their hand in their pockets for a good cause."
