Members of a charity for Helensburgh's older residents danced the morning away at their fundraiser event.

Grey Matters Active Ageing (GMAA) held their annual Strawberry Tea fundraiser on Saturday, August 3, in Helensburgh Parish Church. 

The event was very well attended and people couldn't resist either toe tapping to the music, with help from members Susan and Jim, or getting up for a dance throughout the morning.

A band of keen members also volunteered to bake, make tea and sell raffle tickets for the event.

Prizes were kindly donated by Helensburgh Toyota, Sweeney’s Loch Lomond Cruises, Tunnocks, Irn Bru and the Edinburgh Dungeon.

Alison Gildea from GMAA said: "We had a wonderful morning, with lots of good company and lovely strawberries!

"Events like these are vital in helping people make social connections and reducing loneliness and isolation.

"Thank you to all our volunteers for making the event such a success. We are also so grateful to those who donated prizes and helped us raise much needed funds."
