An emergency partnership has been formed between two charities to deliver essential items to underprivileged children and families.
Volunteers from AberNecessities, which supports disadvantaged families in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, have been unable able to give their time to support those in need due to the lockdown.
This has left the group with fewer options to get crucial supplies to the people that desperately need them.
But with the help of the North East Rider Volunteers Scotland, the two charities have been able to deliver formula and nappies across Grampian.
Otherwise known as the Blood Bikers, the rider group is dedicated to providing a free courier service to the NHS for various supplies and equipment – and has now stepped up to deliver even more precious items.
Danielle Flecher-Horn, founder of AberNecessities, said: “We’re immensely grateful for the fantastic work that the North East Rider Volunteers have provided, they’ve already helped supply a new mother with formula milk and prevented her newborn twins from going hungry.”
Chairman of the North East Rider Volunteers, Neil Powers, added: “AberNecessities is a fantastic local charity and we are happy to help support them during a particularly challenging and difficult time.
“Our riders and drivers are able to quickly and safely deliver vital supplies to those in need without putting them at risk of infection”
