A PORRIDGE producer has completed its charity campaign Pot for a Pot, in partnership with Mary’s Meals, and has raised enough funds to feed a school in Liberia for an entire year.
Through its initiative, Edinburgh-based Stoats will now supply a mug of Likuni Phala porridge every day for 12 months to all 300 children attending Bambo Town Primary School.
Customers helped achieve the milestone by buying Stoats Original Porridge Charity Pots.
The Pot for a Pot campaign was founded around World Porridge Day, which is a global celebration of one of Scotland’s favourite dishes and directly supports the charity Mary’s Meals to provide hungry children across the world with one meal every school day.
Tony Stone, managing director of Stoats, said: “Liberia is one of the world’s most impoverished countries and as an oats company, we know only too well what a good source of energy and nutrition these meals are.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
