KCP, based in La Porte Precinct, Grangemouth, recently branched out into the world of technology and managed to secure 10 computers, complete with desks and chairs, to give free of charge to those families who need them most during the current COVID-19 lockdown.

Now the team at MGM Timber, in the town’s West Mains Industrial Estate, has provided a donation which means KCP will be able to order another two computer sets.

A project spokesperson said: “Please private message us on Facebook to tell us why your family needs one of these computer sets. We shall take all comments to committee and then distribute the computers to the most needy.”
