Tagsa’s track record of community focused research, as well as our experience of running a busy Community Garden puts the organisation in a credible position to support local efforts to increase access to affordable fresh and nutritious food.
Tagsa are establishing the Western Isles Food Partnership to achieve a Sustainable Food Places award. We will bring together key stakeholders from the local authority, health board and public sector establishments to food growers, retailers, and the hospitality sector to transform local food production and consumption into a more sustainable system.
The Gardens already provide an ideal environment for collaboration with other organisations (e.g. our work with Taigh Chearsabhagh, Caraidean Uibhist, Cothrom, Penumbra, Alcohol and Drug Partnership, Community Service (Social Work), Developing the Youth Workforce, Sgoil Lionacleit, Balivanich Primary School, Stòras Uibhist, Craigard Day Centre, Community Mental Health Team and Post Diagnostic Support (Dementia)).
