Pupils at an East Kilbride primary school were a ray of sunshine in aid of a local hospice.
Youngsters at Heathery Knowe Primary took part in the Kilbryde Hospice Sunflower Walk this week and welcomed Hope - the hospice's mascot - to launch the event.
She did a walk around the outside of the nursery and school building waving and dancing to all the classes.
Teacher, Audrey Spence, told Lanarkshire Live : "Over two days the children completed the sponsored walk in the rain and the sunshine with smiles on their faces.
"They were all presented with a medal which was donated by the hospice to recognise their achievement.
"Hope will return to the school before the summer holiday to receive a cheque from the children.
"Children were also gifted a sunflower seeds and compost from Stewartfield Morrisons and the pots were kindly donated by one of our P1 parents.
"The event was a huge success. Hopefully it's the start of an annual event."
Kilbryde Hospice, in the grounds of University Hospital Hairmyres, provides specialist palliative care to patients with life limiting progressive illnesses and relies on donations and fundraising.
