Tagsa Uibhist - Our vision is that all people in Uist have the opportunity and support they need to be healthy, to live with dignity, to experience wellbeing at all stages in their lives, and to be part of an inclusive and caring community. Tagsa Uibhist is a voluntary organisation founded in 1999 that provides support for carers, people with dementia and vulnerable people living in their own home

s throughout the Uists. This is a service that works in partnership with Alzheimers Scotland- Action on Dementia. Our service is registered and regulated by the Care Inspectorate and has established effective links with statutory and other voluntary groups on the island. Tagsa Uibhist is a 'company Limited by Guarantee' locally owned and managed by its members and directors

We believe that to provide a professional service, it is paramount to put service users at the heart of everything we do. The people receiving our support have become accustomed to our flexible, user-led services; making Tagsa Uibhist a major provider of care services throughout the Uists and Benbecula.

This week is National Mental Health Week and this year the theme is ‘Community’.

This is a time to reflect on the importance of mental wellbeing and the crucial role our rural and island communities play in supporting those experiencing poor mental health

Please check out our recent video about community-led Health and Wellbeing, which clearly demonstrates the strengths that community-led solutions and innovation have in supporting people across rural and island communities across Scotland.

With thanks to Unst Boating Club, and WildThings for sharing their insights on film and to Inspiring Scotland for producing such an excellent video.
