Wishaw residents are being urged to give generously to help a charity providing a vital service for children throughout the summer months.

For the past seven years, Made4UinML2 in Cambusnethan has run a Holiday Hunger Club, supporting up to 40 local children every weekday with breakfast, lunch, and safe play.

Many of these kids come from families hit hardest by the cost-of-living crisis, and 15 stay on for free childcare their parents simply couldn't afford elsewhere.

However, disaster struck a few months ago when vandals set part of the charity's play surface alight resulting in damage. Approximately £3000 is needed to repair the damage with a fundraising page set up by the charity in a bid to raise the funds.
