She explained: “We met each other at work. We both worked in a call centre together. I moved up to Erskine from Greenock about four years ago.

The fun sessions are being put on by Renfrewshire Council’s youth services team to help 10 to 18-yearolds make new friends, meet up with chums and have fun together.

The drop- in workshops will offer a range of activities, including arts and crafts.

And there will be a chance for the youngsters to be able to have their say on what’s important to them.

The clubs are based in Erskine, Foxbar and Ferguslie.

The Erskine drop- in takes place at Bargarran Community Centre every Wednesday, 3.30pm to 5.30pm for P6 and P7 ages, and 6pm to 8.30pm for children in S1 and above.

Kids aged 10 to 16 can head along to Foxbar Youth Learning Centre every Tuesday and Thursday, 1.30pm to 3.30pm and 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

Ferguslie’s summer dropin takes place next Thursday at the Tannahill Centre.

For P6 and P7 youngsters, it takes place from 2pm to 4pm, and for 12 to 18-year-olds, it’s at 5pm to 7pm.
