THE GREENHOUSE HOSTS A DAY TO REMEMBER

Over 300 children, parents, and fun-loving family members joined us for an unforgettable Open Day last week (Thursday 4 July). It was a day filled with laughter, joy, and a whole lot of fun!

In collaboration with our fantastic partners at Places for People Scotland, we transformed PY into a wonderland of activities:

From face painting that turned kids into their favourite superheroes, to glitter tattoos that sparkled brighter than the stars, we had it all!

And who could forget the bouncy castles and sumo wrestling? Not to mention the mouth-watering hot dogs, delicious cakes, and sweet treats that had everyone coming back for seconds (and thirds)!

But the fun didn’t stop there! We took creativity to a whole new level with our outdoor painting activity.

The children left their colourful handprints on our newly painted wall, turning it into a vibrant mural that will remind us of this special day for years to come.

A big shout-out to Police Scotland for joining in on the fun! And a massive thank you to everyone who donated prizes for the raffle.

Our event was made even more special with the presence of Fat Brestovci, the charismatic Capital Breakfast Show presenter who supports PYCP. He was there to hand out prizes and his energy was simply contagious!

We couldn’t have pulled off such a successful event without the unwavering support of our funders who have stood by us year after year.

A heartfelt thank you to all our dedicated staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this event a hit.

And of course, a huge round of applause for all the families who joined us. You are the reason we host events like this and your participation means the world to us.

From all the PY Team xx
