Point and Sandwick Trust , who are a community-owned wind farm based in the Outer Hebrides, have donated money to the Bethesda Hospice to help with annual running costsA COMMUNITY-owned wind farm has donated £55,000 to a Western Isles hospice to help alleviate financial pressures.
Annual running costs for the hospice amount to around £450,000 per year and they are dependent on charitable donations and fundraising from the local community.“With the cost of living affecting everyone, this is becoming more difficult to achieve every year and this means that the hospice is at a real risk of closure,” she said.
The trust has pledged to support the hospice every year with an annual donation which Ferguson has said will help make a “massive difference”. “The community continues to be very generous to Bethesda Hospice and we are continuing to organise fundraising events.”PST manager DJ MacSween added: “Bethesda is an organisation that has touched many of our lives and plays an important role in the Western Isles.
