AS public support grows for refugees trying to make their way into and across Europe to start new lives, Lanark has become the pick-up point for practical aid for those struggling in Calais.
Erskine Parish Church is running convoys of aid down to the refugees, and churches elsewhere in Scotland are giving that scheme their backing.
Greyfriars Church is now acting as a collecting point for supplies, and is accepting items at the office, at the side of the church on Friars Lane, on Monday, Wednesday or Friday mornings, or at the church on a Sunday, or any time the hall is open.
