LOCHGELLY Women's Social Group held a coffee morning at Ore Valley Business Centre to mark International Women's Day last week and raise funds for their ongoing activities.

The group support women isolated in the community and welcome all women to their fortnightly meetings and activities at the Ore Valley BC.

They were joined at the coffee morning by Alex Rowley MSP and Councillor Linda Erskine.

This year International Women's day highlighted the unacceptable levels of the gender gap in pay and asked all politicians to do more to tackle the big differences between men and women's pay in the workplace.
