Last week, the Big Hoose and PKAVS Young Carers hosted a fantastic Free Family Fun Day at the NICC, welcoming approximately 320 people!
Families enjoyed a huge range of activities throughout the day, including bouncy castles, soft play, football fun and the ever-popular Beat the Goalie challenge.
Our face painting, temporary tattoos and craft areas were buzzing from start to finish, while the silent disco kept the energy high all day long.
The gaming van was a massive hit, with children eagerly waiting for their turn before it had even finished setting up!
There were plenty of treats on offer too, including drinks, sweets, chocolate, free raffle prizes and delicious freshly made cakes at The Walled Garden & Wisecraft Café.
A huge thank you to the incredible Rapid Relief Team UK, who kept everyone fed and looked after for nearly three hours without stopping.
We’re also incredibly grateful to Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, who spent over two hours with families, offering fire engine and equipment tours, joining in football games and creating unforgettable experiences for the children.
Most importantly, thank you to every volunteer, staff member and partner organisation who helped make the day such a success. Your hard work, enthusiasm and dedication helped create a fun and memorable day for everyone who attended.
Thank you to everyone who came along, and for making it the biggest and best event yet!
