Western Isles MP Angus MacNeil has welcomed a funding boost for charities.
Each year, Corra Foundation distributes just under £1 million through its Henry Duncan Grants programme to charities in communities.
Hebrides Alpha Project has been awarded £4,000 towards the costs of travel and insurance and Volunteering Hebrides has been awarded a grant of £7,000 towards the volunteer expenses of the befriending project.
