We are Scotland's creative ageing organisation, developing our creativity as we age.
Earlier this week we enjoyed a special celebration event at Elderslie Village Hall.
We were joined by Active Communities' Singing Buddies and residents of Lancefield Care Home and Adams House for an afternoon of song and friendship. Thanks to all who took part.
