Residents turned out on a sunny Saturday to show their support for Christian Aid Week 2023.

Helensburgh Parish Church hosted the fundraising fair on May 13 and raised hundreds of pounds towards helping this year's appeal for survivors of Cyclone Freddy in Malawi.

Floods washed away crops and more than 500,000 people have been displaced. Hundreds of people were killed.

Organisers told the Advertiser: "There was a great atmosphere in the hall with people browsing round the stalls before sitting down to enjoy tea or coffee, a hot sausage roll and biscuits.

"The excellent total of £883.07 was raised."
