IT WAS with great delight and some considerable relief that the board members of Cobhair Bharraigh heard that their application to the Big Lottery fund had been successful.
The award of £30,000 per year for three years goes a long way towards enabling Cobhair Bharraigh to maintain the level of service that the organisation gives to the people of Barra and Vatersay.
Demand for services such as day care, transport, care at home and support for carers is ongoing and maintaining the standards of care to obtain the highest accolade from the Care Commission is a priority for the organisation.
