It is not the only farm that has been providing support. The Herron Farm Shop and Kitchen, near Strathaven, has also been collecting items to be taken to Poland.

While those collections have now closed, keep an eye on social media for new collection points popping up.

Those who want to drop off larger items can do so at Church of Glasgow, on Glasgow Road in Cambuslang.
