Staff from West Lothian-based charity Team Jak raised the spirits of kids undergoing treatment at the Sick Kids Hospital in Edinburgh.
Hazel and Rachel had visited the Lochranza ward and day care at the hospital with some prize pumpkins, carving kits, tea lights and goodies for all the girls and boys on the ward to celebrate Halloween.
Some of the children - and parents couldn’t wait to get started and what fabulous creations they made.
Team Jak founder and CEO Allison Barr said: “The ward is looking very spooky with all the lovely decorations and the kids are getting excited for the party next week.
“Thank you to all our amazing supporters who donated Halloween goodies for us to pass on to our children within the den and at home and in hospital, it is much appreciated.
“Thank you also to Tesco, Bathgate for donating some of the lovely pumpkins.”
