TWO adorable young boys from Clydebank are starring in a festive video produced by Scotland’s national children’s charity.

Children 1st are thanking players of the People’s Postcode Lottery for enabling them to help more children and families by putting their own spin on one of the country’s most loved Christmas films.

The charity has been able to provide life changing support for more than 8,200 children and 2,100 parents by preventing abuse and neglect, keeping children safe in their families and communities and helping children and adults recover from the impact of childhood adversity and trauma.

And to thank the players for their on-going generosity, Children 1st recruited some festive helpers from Clydebank, 9-year-old Patrick, and his five-year-old brother Nathan.

Creating a parody from the 2003 Christmas hit Love Actually, the boys surprised recent People’s Postcode Lottery winner Letitia Appleton from Greenock with some notecards to thank her and every other player for their valuable support.

Letitia, who won £30,000 this year, said: “I’m getting used to people knocking on my door with good news! Winning was an amazing experience but it’s nice to know that playing the lottery can also have a massive impact on charities like Children 1st.

“Patrick and Nathan really have put a smile on my face this Christmas. It’s a lovely message and I really appreciate it.”

Children 1st is celebrating over 10 years of support from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery with more than £5.4million donated throughout this time.

Mary Glasgow, CEO, said: “We wanted to thank each and every player for allowing us to deliver life changing support to children and families. Love Actually is one of the country’s best loved Christmas films and we have thoroughly enjoyed putting our own Children 1st spin on it.

“Christmas is a valuable time for families and loved ones to spend quality time together – but we need to remember that for some it can be a difficult time for many reasons. The festive season and all year round we deliver crucial support to children and families across Scotland, and we could not do it without the generosity of the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.”
