A SCOTTISH entrepreneur has vowed to match donations to the Glasgow Times Toy Bank appeal up to £5000.

John McGlynn, who runs our partner Storage Vault, has made the generous pledge in a bid to help save Christmas for children across the city. 

Cash donations on our GoFundMe page have already reached £2325. 

A further boost of just £2675 could see a total of £10,000 go towards Glasgow’s most vulnerable children.

Glasgow Times:

He said: “I’m delighted to support the Glasgow Times Bank on Us campaign.

“Christmas is so important for kids in need, but never more so than this year.” 
John, whose first company was started out as a hobby during university, is now the owner of Scottish Capital.

Its core focus is now annuity revenue commercial property ventures such as Storage Vault – the self storage division as well as CoVault the flexible workspace company. 

John has other significant investments in general property and development, and strategic land acquisition.

Glasgow Times:

CoVault first launched its all-inclusive, flexible workspace model in Paisley, where sister company Storage Vault’s flagship facility is located.

Storge Vault managing director, Anthony McAteer added: “ Storage Vault are absolutely delighted to be involved in the Bank On Us toy appeal campaign this Christmas.

“For many, this year has been extremely challenging, but even more so for kids from underprivileged backgrounds. “Being involved in something that will bring much needed joy for vulnerable kids this year will be a real privilege.”

This year, the Glasgow Times has vowed to do what it can to take some of the pressure off struggling parents. Last week, we released our free paper donation bag to be filled up with new toys and delivered to the nearest toy bank or drop off point.  

Details of all drop Points can be found online.
