This week, pupils from several primary schools have harvested their potatoes from wooden planters. Some pupils received “Spuds for Buddies” rucksacks to carry their potatoes. These cotton rucksacks were produced by Renfrewshire Council’s Community Payback Team.

Thanks to Awards for All for supporting Spuds for Buddies.
