Over the last 35 years, classroom visits have always been a highlight. Teaching young people about the work we do and the challenges and opportunities facing our islands is always a pleasure.

These young people are the future of our islands, and we look forward to continuing these conversations for many years to come.

It's easy to see housing as just brick and mortar, but it's so much more for us at Tighean Innse Gall. It's about people, place and community.

As part of our 35th anniversary celebrations, we've created a short film highlighting our goals as an association and our team's hard work. 🎥

Take a look to learn more about our work and the people at the heart of it.

we've spent alot of our 35th anniversary looking to the past, now its time to shape the future.
We are halfway through our "Domestic Decarbonisation Project - Outer Hebrides"; we're inviting residents to complete a survey sharing their experiences with energy costs and home energy efficiency.

TIG and Community Energy Scotland lead the project, with partners BE-ST, Community Land Outer Hebrides and Community Enterprise. It aims to find Hebridean-specific solutions to help tackle high energy costs.

Please share your experience if you haven't already and help shape the future of housing in the Outer Hebrides. Your feedback will help ensure that any future solutions are practical, affordable and tailored to island living.
