The Kirk Session has chosen as its Local Charity this year Home Comforts NL , which we have helped over the last 10 years since it started.
Home Comforts NL has greatly increased their output of packs in the last 2 years, such is the demand!
They drop off about 100 Cleaning Packs, and 140 Hygiene Packs every 3 months, all in North Lanarkshire. They depend on grants and donations to buy the items and once the packs are ready, they are dropped off at Social Work, Homeless Units, Women's Aid, Health Visitors, Barnardo's and more.
Our appeal will run for the 4 Sundays in Advent, and you will be advised the week before, the items being collected the following Sunday.
The items you donate will be distributed from the start of 2025.
If you would prefer to place an envelope in the collection plate - addressed to Home Comforts, all donations will be gratefully received.
(e.g. – with a donation of £2.00, the group can buy soap 30p, shower gel 35p, facecloth 25p, toothbrush 25p, toothpaste 50p and sponge 35p)
