A TOP kids and young people’s charity has thanked MSP Stuart McMillan for his contribution to a national campaign in Inverclyde.

Barnardo’s Scotland mentioned the SNP man by name ‘for all his help’ as part of their recent ‘Make a Difference Month’.

The charity’s director Martin Crewe, pictured left with the MSP, said: “During the campaign, we saw members and ministers signing up new recruits, selling stock like there was no tomorrow, and even offering opportunities to our young people to go and learn the ins and outs of political office.

“All in all, Make a Difference Month made a massive difference to us, so thank you to Stuart McMillan MSP for all his help in Inverclyde.” A total of 36 MSPs, MPs and local government officials donated their time during the course of the campaign.

Mr Crewe said: “Our local volunteers continue to make a huge difference to the charity’s work through their ongoing dedication. A special thank-you goes to the thousands of volunteers already donating their time, and to the members of the public who expressed interest in volunteering for us during the campaign.
