To raise funds for our big community project- to renovate the old primary school into a new community centre, two young islanders challenged themselves to an awesome task, to swim from the mainland to Kerrera- in December!
We now are the proud owners of the old school building!!! Now the work begins to renovate it into our new community centre. We are also delighted to have recruited islander Aideen Shields as our new Project Manager, check our Projects page for further information.
