"We want to get people out of isolation and get them involved in things.

"Exercising is vital for your mental health and we want to promote fitness in the community.

The barbers have been amazing in helping us out.

"Clydebank FC were also kind enough to offer their pitch for the match at the first available opportunity.

"Everyone has been really receptive to the concept."
