A community group rolled their sleeves up to transform their building in its 50th anniversary year.

Polmont Playgroup has been meeting in Greenpark Community Centre for over two decades.

The committee decided to put the summer months to good use by giving the inside of their part of the building a lick of paint.

They asked the local community for volunteers to lend a hand, as well as any welcome donations of paint and materials.

The playgroup is so popular in the village and surrounding area that there is a waiting list of parents eager to get their youngsters enrolled.

A final 50th anniversary fundraiser will take place next month.

The popular prize bingo evening returns on Saturday, September 17 after a break due to the pandemic.

They are now inviting donations of prizes, big or small, from businesses and the community.
