Pupils from Brodick Primary School invited North Ayrshire Council leader Joe Cullinane and Provost Ian Clarkson to their special assembly, highlighting their work in raising awareness during Challenge Poverty Week at the start of the month.
The entire school and invited guests listened to a presentation from pupils and teacher Mrs Claire Scott about what poverty is, who it affects and the manner in which action can be taken in alleviating it. Pupils also spoke of their work in supporting the Arran Foodbank – which they have been collecting for over the past week – and their support of the Arran Maternity Support Group, which hosted a discussion about its work the week before.
The pupils also entertained their guests by singing enthusiastically, before Provost Clarkson and Councillor Cullinane spoke to the children.
