IT was all smiles as Bankies and the sun came out to mark the end of a local summer programme.

Over the last few weeks Flourishing Faifley, a charity based in the town, has been running various fun-filled activities free of charge to keep little ones and their parents, carers, and guardians entertained.

To mark the programme coming to an end families were treated to a pizza party which went down a treat.

Tony Ercoli, founder of Flourishing Faifley, said: “What an amazing end to our summer of family fun. You couldn’t ask for more; families, fun, and food.

“Loads of families joined in the activities during the last week. We had bug hunting, arts & crafts, cake decorating face painting, old school games, archery, giant connect four, basketball, and more.

“We also had some awesome birds of prey from our friends at Hootenany Owls in Langbank. We finished with a delicious delivery of fresh pizzas for the families to enjoy from McMonagles Boat in Clydebank.”
