Pupils from Bargarran Primary School joined in the fun as Erskine’s Summer Appeal hit full swing.
The veteran's charity’s Wishes Campaign, part of the charity’s Summer Appeal, sees funds raised go towards helping make veterans realise their dreams.
Backers of the charity have previously helped to provide essential care throughout the pandemic, and as the nation begins to emerge from lockdown, the Wishes Campaign provides the perfect opportunity to help Veterans return to a sense of normality and enjoy days out and trips that they have always wanted.

Just £10 could provide a long-awaited trip to the seaside, while £50 could give Veterans the opportunity to watch their favourite football team. A donation of £100 could provide a group of residents the chance to go for a meal at their favourite restaurant, and £500 would allow for a trip to Loch Lomond for a group of Veterans.
Primary Three pupils at Bargarran took time out to tell the charity about their own wishes, as they drew their hopes and dreams for all to see.
Robbie Bain loves to play football with his local football club, while Olly Murdoch showed off his adventurous side by explaining that he dreams of going back to Tree Top Adventure.
Charley McMaster’s wish was to go shopping with her mum and sister, and Isla McDowall’s dream was to go to the park.
Wing Commander Ian Cumming, Erskine chief executive, said: “Our Summer Appeal showcases the fantastic work that we, as a charity, put in to ensure our nation’s Veterans enjoy later life and realise dreams that they have always wanted to fulfil.
“We love to see the future generations throw their support behind Erskine, and it is a real joy to see pupils from Bargarran Primary, and the rest of Renfrewshire, join in and learn what our charity does for Veterans throughout the country.”
