The Uists/Benbecula Alzheimer Scotland 5k Memory Walk and Afternoon Tea in Balivanich raised more than £800 to support local dementia-related activities. The event, which is now expected to become an annual fixture in the Uists calendar, saw 44 people taking part to help raise funds and awareness for local people with dementia and their families. Volunteer stewards from the community, NHS Western Isles’ Public Health Division, Police Scotland and HMS Coastguard helped organisers ensure walkers were kept safe.
