MORTON in the Community has concluded its 'Off the Bench' programme.

The end of the 12-week employability and life skills initiative was celebrated with a trip to Top Golf where they joined groups from other football clubs, and a day out at Bullseye.

All participants were thanked and given certificates for their dedication.

A spokesperson said: "Off the Bench came to a close this week, and we want to say a huge thank you to all of the participants who took part and completed the course."

Off the Bench offered guest speakers, mentoring, a first aid coach as well as SFA coaching badges and a CV workshop.

The aim was to build self esteem and confidence, as well as developing skills including volunteering opportunities.
