M&S Livingston Outlet

We provide safe, temporary accommodation to women, children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse. The charity works closely with West Lothian Council and Scottish Women’s Aid as well as a number of other organisations. We provide information and support over the phone or in person. We can provide temporary housing and, when the time comes, resettlement support. We also run an out of hours on-call service for women staying in our safe accommodation, and monthly activities to help boost confidence and skills. We also have specialist financial advice available via a partnership with the Citizens Advice Bureau. Women who have used our services report several key benefits as a result of our interventions, including: - feeling safer and supported to make safe choices - improved financial benefits - increased self-esteem, confidence and resilience - improved mental wellbeing

Our P4/5/6/7 girls group would like help to plan, organise and implement a family buffet to say thank you to their parents/ carers for everything they do. They appreciate their families and would like to have some support to say a big thank you back.

At Dogs Trust, we are working towards for the day when no dog will be put to sleep for want for of a loving home. We never put a healthy dog down. As well as caring for nearly 17,000 dogs every year across our network of 20 UK rehoming centres, we also run campaigns, outreach projects and education programs to teach about responsible dog ownership, training and behaviour and dog welfare in general. Our West Calder rehoming centre is one of two centres based in Scotland. It is one of our smaller centres and is home to around 50 dogs at any one time. With 18 dedicated members of staff and many kind volunteers, we were able to rehome 359 dogs last year! We are very grateful to M&S Livingston for all of the wonderful support they are going to give us, it is a huge help, and we're looking forward to the year ahead! Paws crossed that we get more of our furry friends into their forever homes than ever before!
