📸 Looking back on our recent visit to Skye.
Last week, we shared how valuable it was to spend time meeting local groups, organisations and residents, hearing first-hand about the positive impact community funding is having across the island.
Today, we want to shine a light on Minginish, where hard working volunteers are improving the facilities in their local community with the help of funding from Muirhall Energy. 🌿
Growing Minginish received £5,000 to create a sheltered sensory garden and to complete an accessible path around their community hall, ensuring all members of the community can access the area and enjoy all the thoughtfully selected plants and herbs.
Along the road at Carbost Community Shop CIC , the team were delighted to show us around and tell us all the ways they are diversifying to keep this vital local service afloat. With a 60 minute round trip to the next nearest shop, it's so important that these rural communities retain local facilities and we were pleased to be able to donate £2,500 to their running costs.
