Vivienne said: "We have held an event for the last four years and raised funds for the hospice and cancer charities.

"So we put it to people this year which charity to support, and especially among younger people, who have maybe been affected by mental health issues, the general consensus was to help Man On!"

Vivienne said the bash went really well and it was a great atmosphere.

She said: "It was one of the best events we've ever had, it was just such good fun, with so many people.

Vivienne also thanked all the small businesses who donated raffle prizes, including the Wildfire Deli and Barber and Groom in Gourock and Jamie's Pizzeria and Jamie's Chinese in Greenock and also the Gin House Hotel.

The wine bar is already open at the hotel and is it hoped the kitchen will re-open shortly.

There are also plans for customers to make their own gin and take it home at events at the venue in the new year.

Man On Inverclyde has already been chosen as one of two good causes which will receive the proceeds from a raffle at this week's Greenock and District Scouts Gang Show.

The charity was set up to prevent suicides and enhance wellbeing by providing safe, inclusive, relationship-focussed and trauma-informed environments that remove the stigma attached to mental health.

It has helped more than 700 adults and young adults since being established in 2020, in the early stages of the Covid pandemic.
