INVERCLYDE Royal Hospital's League of Friends tea bar is serving up Christmas cheer - as volunteers continue to raise crucial funds to help patients.

Volunteers Mary Hempsey, Mary McKnight and Sheena Cairns are among those continuing to give a helping hand to the hospital throughout the festive period.

It has been another successful 12 months for the popular tea bar.

Over the last year the team have raised thousands of pounds for vital pieces of equipment and support for wards at IRH.

They were recently thanked by the Orthopaedic Fracture Outpatients department for paying for a new cast saw and plaster trolley.
