A Church with the Community at its heart, at the heart of the Community
Ukrainian School Backpack Appeal
Jan McColl, Fife Coordinator for Re-Act Scotland, (Refugee Action Scotland) collected the donations which CKS had gathered over the past few weeks. She was delighted with the response and gave a huge thank you to everyone who had been so generous. Her car was jam packed by the time she set off.
Backpacks will be filled for both primary and secondary children, some who are now living in Fife and others further afield in Scotland.
Over 6000 Ukrainians have arrived in Scotland since April and there are on average two families arriving every day. Many will stay in the bigger cities on ships moored off Leith and on the Clyde. Fife has taken in a large number of families and Fife Council has set up a support network for them. Most come through sponsorship programmes and some people have self-financed their travel and accommodation. Everyone is very grateful to have been welcomed into a safe haven.
Jan is retiring at the end of the year but we will be contacted if and when there is a new emergency appeal. We would like to thank her for her inspiring and amazing work over the years both in this country and overseas.
Thank you again for your very kind support.

Ukraine Appeal - Local Response
A huge thank you to everyone who donated items for the Ukrainian appeal earlier in the year. Our Church worked with Re-Act Scotland – Refugee Action Scotland - to collect donations for the Ukrainian refugee crisis and continues to do so.
