Miss Scotland Claudia Todd was "super proud" of the young children she mentors as they performed their first ever summer show in Hamilton.
The Bothwell beauty runs Wishes with Miss Scotland, which offers a free weekly evening of entertainment for boys and girls aged five to 11 within the Whitehill Community Centre.
It is aimed at making wishes come true and giving local children a safe space to grow and achieve their goals.
And recently the children celebrated the last year with a spectacular, fun dance performance to a delighted crowd made up of friends and family.
The event showcased all of the hard work the children have been doing with Miss Scotland since she launched the project back in September.
Stunning Claudia, who recently took part in the illustrious Miss World competition in Puerto Rico, told Lanarkshire Live she "cherished" the moment.
She told us : "Seeing the children’s smiling faces each week fills me with joy knowing that I can use my creative skills in a positive way.
"And I was delighted to watch the children perform their summer show in Whitehill Community Centre.
"I am super proud of every child that I have met since launching this project, it is a safe space where they can learn lifeskills and build teamwork, confidence and kindness, all while enjoying an evening of fun and creativity.
"The children have worked incredibly hard each week preparing for our show and their dedication certainly paid off!
Local businesses Casa JoJo Bakes, Rocco Hamilton and Momentus MK also made the event special by generously providing their services during the event.
The children’s programme, Wishes with Miss Scotland, runs weekly in Hamilton for boys and girls ages five to 11. It includes a wide variety of activities from sports to singing and most importantly spending time with friends and having fun.
Claudia also hopes to expand Wishes with Miss Scotland across the country and have a positive influential impact throughout Scotland.
Her future plans include giving every child in attendance the chance to explore magical trips such to the local museums, parks or even Disneyland.
