FIRST Minister Nicola Sturgeon toured the new Ardseileach Centre in Stornoway during her recent visit to Lewis.
Ardseileach provides residential accommodation for disabled adults through a series of independent living units clustered around a core residential centre.
The First Minister said: ‘People with all disabilities should be allowed to live as independently as possible. Facilities like the Ardseileach Centre provide a vital service in rural locations like Lewis as they enable adults with disabilities to live independently in their community. It was a pleasure to visit the centre and see how residents are benefiting from the service.’
