A donation station has been set up to support those who have been evacuated from their homes in Coalsnaughton.
After residents from Nechtan Drive and Langour were both evacuated last week (Friday, May 29), the total number of homes affected by the ground movement problems is at 97.
Following a meeting on Tuesday (June 2), those affected now won’t be able to return home for at least eight weeks while the Mining Remediation Authority continues their investigations.
The donation station, located at Tillicoultry Primary School, are looking for items which includes shampoo and conditioner, toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant, instant meals, tinned food with ring pulls and cereal bars and snacks.
A post that was reshared by the Sauchie Community Group, states: “We are setting up a donation station to support local families who have been evacuated from their homes and are facing a difficult and uncertain time.
“If you are able to help, we would be grateful for donations of self-care and toiletry items, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel and soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant, sanitary products, baby wipes and nappies.”
They also need activities for children and young people including colouring books and pencils, puzzle books, playing cards and travel games, books, and more.
The post adds: “Every donation, no matter how small, can help bring comfort and practical support to families during this challenging time.
“If you would like to contribute, please drop donations to Gainer (Family Support Worker) at Tillicoultry Primary School.
“Thank you for helping us show our community spirit and support families when they need it most”.
Donations will be distributed by The Gate.
