Dè tha dol? is here to help local charities, groups and organisations.

A reminder to community groups and local organisations that Dè tha dol? is here to share your news, events and announcements.

It doesn't have to be BIG news, a wee update about new equipment or a photo of your staff training is very welcome too.

There is no cost for this, or inclusion in our What's On calendar, and we can help you if you would like to write an article or a press release too.

If you want to take out an advert, our prices (already the cheapest in the Western Isles) are greatly reduced for Harris Voluntary Service members. Advertising revenue also helps with our running costs and contributes to our community projects.

Our next deadline is this Friday, May 15th.

Get in touch at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you.
