Tagsa Uibhist is delighted to announce that our new Community Gardens Hub is now open and ready to welcome the community.
The Hub, located at East Camp, Balivanich, is a versatile new space that will serve as a focal point for many of Tagsa’s services and community activities. Generously funded by the Wolfson Foundation, this facility represents an exciting new chapter for community life in Uist.
Join Us for Our Opening Ceilidh
To celebrate, we’re hosting one of our popular Ri-Cheile Ceilidhs as the Hub’s first event:
- Date: Friday 15th May
- Time: 2 pm
- Venue: Community Gardens Hub, East Camp, Balivanich
As always, there will be live music, tea, and plenty of good conversation. The weather is looking promising, so come along and enjoy an afternoon in our new community space.
