Packing up: Iona folk working hard for new centre

-

A remote community in the Inner Hebrides has launched a fundraiser to help raise £400,000 to ensure they can reopen to visitors for Easter 2020. With the first phase of refurbishm­ent works on historic Iona Abbey now complete, the community are appealing to raise the extra money by the end of the year to get the centre reopened. Volunteers and staff on the island have already begun packing up valuables prior to the next phase of refurbishm­ent works.
