Youngsters in foster care got the chance to meet up with Southampton Football Club’s mascot during a fun-packed sports day.

Children gathered at Foundry Lane Primary School in Shirley on a sunny summer day to take part in various activities like races, face painting, and exploring the bouncy castle.

Hosted by Foster Care Associates (Solent Region) on July 24, 2004, the occasion featured a surprise guest appearance from the renowned DJ Sammy Saint.

The fun day for all the family included carers, their partners or husbands and their children.

These pictures were all taken at the event.
