At the event, HHP agreed to donate £1,000 to Autism Eilean Siar, Caraidean Uibhist, MacMillan Nurses, Stornoway Phab Club and Young Musicians Hebrides.

Last week, HHP chair Gordon Macleod and HHP chief executive Dena Macleod presented a cheque for £1000 to representatives of Autism Eilean Siar.

During the presentation, HHP were given some background on their organisation and some insight into how the monies would be used.

Autism Eilean Siar is a local parent-led charity set up to support anyone living in the Western Isles who is affected by autism or additional support needs. Parent/Carer support drop-ins and meeting are held monthly. Activities and events are organised for children and for adults affected by autism, outings are arranged to help aid socialisation.

HHP said it is committed to continuing to assist other locally-based charitable organisations and thanked Autism Eilean Siar for the work it does throughout its communities.
