Tagsa Uibhist - Slàinte agus Sunnd - Health and Wellbeing in our Community

Tagsa Uibhist is the only registered charity in the area that provides its service users with free care from trained staff.

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 homes 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.
