Caitlin Anderson (11), Rebecca Anderson (9), Ava Wallace (9), Isla Wallace (7), Eve Greenhalgh 
(11) and Ella Greenhalgh (9) dedicated their summer play to organising a family fun day.

The girls — all St Joseph’s and Busby primary pupils — made their own posters and advertised around the neighbourhood in the run up to the
 event.

In addition to the fun day the girls also organised a tombola, arts and crafts, bric a brac, a toy and book stalls, and lots of home-baked treats.

According to mum Sarah Jane Anderson, the event was a “massive success” — and the kind-hearted youngsters have 
decided to split the total amount raised between Macmillan, WWF and local special needs school Isobel Mair.

Sarah Jane told The Extra: “As parents, we’re bursting with pride for them.

“It was a lovely way to spend part of their holidays, focusing on helping others.”
