Uist Gymnastics Club has received a donation from The Scottish Salmon Company (SSC) through its latest round of Community Fund awards.
The funding will support the training of additional coaches, enabling the club to fully register with Scottish Gymnastics as a competitive team.
The club was established to provide inclusive gymnastics coaching for all young people in the Uist area, which was previously unavailable.
The club is very popular with local children, teaching them new abilities and skills and improving confidence.
Uist Gymnastics Club was nominated by Donald MacInnes, senior marine operative at SSC’s Locheport site.
Club coach, Oni Fraser, said they were “very grateful” for the donation.
“The funding will be hugely beneficial to our gymnastics team, allowing us to continue to promote physical fitness as well as building skills, confidence and a positive mental attitude.”
