Bumper response to Blythswood shoebox appeal
Thurso’s Mount Pleasant Primary School organised the collection of 89 filled shoeboxes for the Blythswood appeal. After making up the boxes, they were sorted, categorised and counted by the class. The pupils then took the boxes to the Blythswood lorry and loaded them on. All of the boxes will be making their way to Bulgaria soon and they will be opened by 89 very grateful recipients this Christmas. All the youngsters are pictured sitting on the back of the Blythswood lorry after having loaded all the packages on board.

Pulteneytown Academy pupils and staff have been busy making up charity packages to donate to the annual festive shoebox appeal run by Blythswood Care. The school has made up 86, with the pupil council seen here surrounded by the boxes before they were picked up on Friday afternoon and taken to one of the charity’s warehouses from where they will be distributed to needy children in eastern Europe.
