The schools involved have welcomed Stand by Me into their classrooms and listened to the stories of children who have been rescued from crisis by the charity. The boys and girls have opened their eyes to the world around them and are aspiring to be the change they want to see in the world.
A big thank-you from Stand by Me to primary schools: Woodlawn, Sunnylands, Linn, Model, Whiteabbey, Oakfield, Mossgrove, Victoria, Carnmoney and Whitehead.
