A construction company has donated more than 1000 Easter eggs to charities in Glasgow and beyond. 

Staff, suppliers and subcontractors from the JR-Group, based in Paisley, handed in chocolate treats to be distributed across the charities.

Easter goodies have been donated to Shettleston Growing Project, Kindness Homeless Street Team, and Dumbarton Road Corridor Youth Project in Yoker, as well as other groups in Ayrshire, West Lothian and Fife. 

Gayle O’Hear, construction administration manager, said: “It’s amazing to build on last year’s donation with even more Easter eggs collected.

"We’re delighted to be able to gift more than 1,000 chocolate eggs ahead of the school holidays thanks to our kind-hearted team members, suppliers and subcontractors."

Gayle added: “Unfortunately, there are so many children living in difficult circumstances who, without help from local charities and foodbanks, may go without a simple Easter treat that so many take for granted.

"We’re proud to play our part in ensuring as many kids as possible will benefit from our donation and would like to thank everyone who contributed.

“We’ve had such wonderful feedback from the beneficiaries of the donations, and we’re proud to make even a small difference to the children who benefit from the work of each of the charities in Glasgow, Fife, Ayrshire and West Lothian.”
