Children in one South Lanarkshire area can receive high-vis vests to help them stay visible as the days get darker.
Homebuilder Miller Homes is donating the items to pupils in Broomhouse, on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Available at their local Ellismuir Gardens development, the company is giving away the vests as part of its Home Safe initiative.
They hope the bright yellow clothing will ensure local children are visible to drivers whether they are walking, cycling or scooting to school.
The vests can be collected from Thursday to Monday, 10.30am to 5.30pm.

Louise Caldwell, Regional Sales Director for Miller Homes West, said: “Getting to and from school is such an important part of a child’s daily routine and being active while doing it is great for their mental and physical wellbeing.
"Our Home Safe initiative is designed to help children to be as safe as possible on those journeys, educating them on the importance of being visible to other road users, which will instil good safety habits for years to come.”
