The JR Group, one of the country’s leading constructions firms, has donated more than 1,200 selection boxes to 20 charities and organisations across Scotland, enabling them to gift them to children in the lead up to Christmas.

Among the donations, the business visited vital charities that support children and families including, Families affected by Drugs & Alcohol in Dunbarton and Action for Children in Govan, as well as youth groups such as Finnart Football Club in Springburn, Glasgow and Peebles Youth Trust.

A number of nurseries and primary schools across the country also received selection boxes including Haghill Primary School in Dennistoun, Glasgow, Ibrox Primary School and Glenlee Primary School in Hamilton.

It is an annual tradition for The JR Group to donate selection boxes, with the firm calling out to staff, sub-contractors, suppliers and third party design team contractors for donations.

Gayle O’Hear, Construction Administration Manager, at The JR Group, said: “We have had an amazing response to our call out for donations and were able to distribute even more selection boxes than last year.

“Throughout the year, we work closely with charities, organisations and schools in the areas we are building homes to offer support in various forms including volunteering, gifting items and offering work experience placements, but at Christmas we especially love to ensure as many children as we can have a festive treat.

“I’d like to thank every member of our team and our suppliers and sub-contractors, who kindly helped us collect these vital items for the campaign this year.”
