Fantastic work on display from young people in our community – have you seen the bus shelter in Garrabost? It's had an extreme & much needed make-over... A brilliant group of 13-15 year olds have taken on the challenge and look what they've achieved! welovestornoway.com/index.php/arti…

We had lots of interesting visitors last week including this group of students on a trip to Lewis from Germany. Studying #CommunityDevelopment & #Renewables, they visited PST to find out more about how we do community renewable energy projects in the Western Isles. #hebrides
