and allow suppliers who provide goods and services to the council to support these requests.

The contractor who granted the wish for the Machan Trust, EPSO is a large national school supplier.

Head of Sales at EPSO, Simon Herne, said: “Through the South Lanarkshire Community Wish List initiative, ESPO is delighted to have been able to play a small part in helping support the Machan Trust with a donation of stationery products to help enable the charity to carry out the hugely valuable work that they do, supporting children, young people and families in the local community.

“The charity works with schools across the area, many of which are also customers of ESPO, and so it is a fantastic opportunity for us to be able to give something back through this initiative.”

The Community Wish List is supported by the council’s community engagement team.

Councillor Lesley Mcdonald (Larkhall), chair of the council’s finance and corporate resources committee, said: “This is another great example of the Community Wish List and the benefits it can bring to local communities and organisations.

“I would like to thank all the companies who have so generously donated so far.”
