Wallace Primary Pupils Raise Funds for Park Improvements

That the Parliament congratulates the Wallace Primary School pupils, Sophia Barr, 8, Teaghan McGinn, 7, and Ruaridh Barr, 6, on raising £580 towards efforts to transform Queen’s Road play park in Elderslie; understands that the group raised the sum by selling nearly-new baby items at a local Jack and Jill market; recognises that the money will go toward Elderslie Community Council’s plan to refurbish the local play park to make it a fully inclusive area with as many as 32 play opportunities for children and young people; commends the children on the dedication that they have shown to this effort by donating their own toys, organising donations from the local community, making t-shirts and presenting a cheque to the community council in person; notes that the group hopes to raise further funds by hosting a stall at the upcoming Elderslie Community Council Summer Fayre on 22 June 2019, as well as arranging a bag-pack at B&M in Paisley on 18 August; wishes them well in these future fundraising endeavours, and looks forward to seeing the park refurbishment project progress.
