The annual Jar of Grace appeal was launched at the Joint service in St Andrew's Church on Sunday 3 January.

We are delighted to tell you that a final total of £1494.08 was sent to UNICEF in April and, since over £600 of this amount qualified for Gift Aid, the actual sum UNICEF received to help vulnerable children all around the world was over £1600.

Since 2008 Jars of Grace from the Carluke churches have raised £14905.47 and this amount has been increased by over £1600 because so many donors were able to complete a Gift Aid form.
