Kirsten Oswald leads thanks to East Renfrewshire Good Causes as charity passes £1 million milestone
ERGC carries out a lot of partnership working and joint funding with other local and national organisations.

The charity accepts donations of a wide range of goods, as well as cash, and passes these on to local groups or residents in need of support.
Considering the coronavirus restrictions currently in place in East Renfrewshire, Kirsten chose Rouken Glen Park to hand over a copy of the motion to Russell and his wife Yvonne.
