We have a BIG demand for bikes from refugees & asylum seekers.
Can you help to provide essential mobility & freedom of movement to isolated & socio-economicly disadvantaged New Scots.
We would love to hear from you 🧡

Colleges like @WestLoCollege are doing great things to support students through this cost of living crisis and to try and prevent poor mental health, but our counsellors are seeing an increase in serious and complex problems and I do not exaggerate when I say they save lives!

The guys at the #recycling centre at Oakbank aren’t only super helpful but they’ve got a fabulous sense of humour too! Worth a visit just to see this gorilla complete with high viz & face mask .@LoveWestLothian

Sue, like you, I'm proud, and often humbled, to be associated with West Lothian College. The commitment of all who work there to student success is outstanding and there is plenty evidence it can transform lives.
I knew .@WestLoCollege cared about people in our community but the firsthand knowledge of the help they’re giving a woman in homeless accommodation get into education and have a better future fills me with immeasurable pride to be part of this college. #EducationForAll
