A West Lothian community pastor has launched an appeal for dresses, suits, and formal accessories this prom season as she hopes to tackle ‘prom poverty’.
As prom season approaches, Donna McCarron-Flynn, the community pastor of Broxburn Baptist Church came up with an appeal to make sure no one is left out of the end of year celebrations.
Amidst the cost of living crisis in the UK - spending money on expensive formal clothes is out of reach for a lot of families in West Lothian, the concern for local youth being left out is what spurred the pastor into action.
