KeyStore retailers help children get back to school

Retailers including Lee Narwan of KeyStore East Kilbride Village, Billy Bassi of KeyStore Cardonald (Mosspark Drive), Dev Narwan of KeyStore Barrhead (Main Street), Josh Singh of KeyStore More Kirkcaldy, Chris Watson of KeyStore Express Corseford, and Colette Gilliland, manager of Keystore More Hardgate (Kilbowie Road) – a Clydebank Co-operative store – have distributed school bags and stationery essentials to ensure local primary school pupils have a great start to the new term.

The back-to-school Converse school bags contain a pencil case, pencils, eraser, ruler and calculator – along with a KeyStore-branded bottled water to help pupils get ready for returning to lessons in their classrooms.

Nick Hannah, director at Glasgow-based wholesaler JW Filshill, said: “Our stores are located in the heart of local communities where not every child is in a position to get a new schoolbag or stationery before returning to school.

“We sourced fantastic Converse rucksacks, filled them with these important items to help get kids ready to restart lessons after lockdown, and gave them to retailers to hand out to the parents of those they know would appreciate a helping hand at this time.”
