The Peacock and Ivy Bar in Hamilton hosted a ladies day on July 30 where £465.10 was raised for the Les Hoey MBE DreamMaker Foundation.
The event was full of entertainment with three performers playing throughout the day as lots of raffle prizes, kindly donated by generous locals, helped bring in vital cash for the cause, as well as an auction.
The establishment saw a fantastic turnout of people attend who all dug deep to make the fundraiser a success.
Mary Gilfillan, Bar Manager he Peacock and Ivy Bar, told Lanarkshire Live : "We had entertainment on throughout the whole day, prizes were donated by local people, and was very well attended throughout the day.
"It was a great success. We've been conscious of the Les Hoey MBE DreamMaker Foundation for years and the great work that they do.
"Lesley works so hard for the charity and he deserves all the help he can get. And we'll look forward to doing something again for the charity in the future."
"We would like to thank everybody for attending and for making the day a success", Mary added.
