Urras Coimhearsnachd Bhradhagair agus Arnoil (Bragar & Arnol Community Trust)

About

The charity is set up to provide an àite cèilidh meeting place, activities and services for people in Bragar and Arnol, the West Side and the wider Isle of Lewis. It does this by organising and running weekly and monthly events, such as coffee mornings, cèilidhs and bingo nights, by exhibitions of artworks and local history and culture, by providing allotment spaces for vegetable growing, and by running classes and one-off events. We have activities for young and old, and run many intergenerational events. Our events and activities run 50 weeks of the year. The charity also runs a launderette and a small hostel. The community served by the charity has a high percentage of Gaelic speakers, and the Gaelic language is central to all our work. We work with both native speakers and learners of the language.
