MUMS got an afternoon off when the kids were treated to a fun day of magic, dance shows, clown acts and, of course, face painting.

One young 'Spider Boy' was handed a microphone for a song and was in the limelight for a while at Limehouse.

He was one of the kids enjoying the fun day at the John Scurr centre in East London held by the two organisations that run social housing in the neighbourhood.

The idea by Tower Hamlets Community Housing and the Newlon Housing Group was to encourage families to play a greater role in improving community life in a deprived Docklands area of the East End.
