WELCOME

Welcome to the Sgoil an Iochdair agus a'Choimhearsnachd website.

We are a small local charity based in South Uist. Our main aim is to improve recreational facilities in the catchment area of Iochdar School, which extends from the middle district in South Uist up to Island Flodda, Benbecula.

Our AGM for 2025 is coming up. There are some exciting new opportunities to have your say and get involved in upgrading our local playparks and the ball park at the school. There is an important decision to be made about the future of the football pitch. The meeting will be at Talla an Iochdair on 26th May 2025 at 7:30pm

We have already been successful in completing some of these projects, or supporting other groups so that they can undertake the work. We also have lots of ideas for the future.

Last year we installed fencing around a new tree planting area at the road end, and completed a program of installing cycle racks at key places around the catchment area of Iochdar School. The pitch at the hall has been kept mown and rolled, and it was top-dressed with sand which has improved the surface.

Please contact us if you have anything you wish to pass on; all of our projects have been proposed by local people, and their success depends on everyone's feedback and input.
