Have a great time if you’re attending the Eilean Dorcha Festival this weekend! Our team are there to help you should you need any support. We are also very grateful to be chosen as one of their charities this year and you’ll find our donation buckets throughout the grounds and at our stand as well as a QR code for online donations. We appreciate every penny donated which will benefit those we support in our services throughout the Outer Hebrides ❤️

💙 Creating Safe Spaces Together at EDF 💙

EDF is about more than music — it’s about community, connection and looking out for one another.

We’re proud to work with our charity partners Action for Children and The Canmore Trust to help make EDF a safe, welcoming and supportive place for everyone.

Action for Children will once again run our Safe Space at the festival, offering calm support for anyone who needs help. We’re also delighted to welcome back the MOWI Salmon Wagon, with MOWI generously donating their festival takings to The Canmore Trust.

Mental health matters. A kind word, a conversation, or simply being there can make a difference.

All money raised from this event will benefit children, young people and families from across the Outer Hebrides.

If you’re struggling, you are not alone:

📞 Samaritans: 116 123 — free, 24/7
📱 Text CANMORE to 85258 — free, 24/7

Let’s keep EDF a place where everyone feels welcome, valued and supported. 💙
