Clydebank's Golden Friendships charity is to hand out free packed lunches for the area's children during the forthcoming school holiday. 

The lunches will also reach schoolchildren in Old Kilpatrick as well as Dalmuir, where Golden Friendships is based, with the help of a community food-sharing project.

Old Kilpatrick Food Parcels will provide a distribution point to help families in the area who may struggle financially while schools are closed.
