Volunteers in Uists land cash windfall

The Western Isles Lottery supported Volunteers Week with an award of £300 to the Volunteer Centre in Uist, which works to celebrate local volunteers and volunteer involving organisations.

Volunteers Week ran from June 1-7 with hundreds of events and celebrations across the country to say thank you to volunteers for their time and effort, and positive impact on the lives of others.

Pictured are volunteers from across the Uists receiving a cheque from Uist Council of Volunteering Services, who manage the Western Isles Lifestyle Lottery (WILL) funds in the Uist area, at their annual celebration. The proceeds were raised by WILL supporters from across Uist.
