The Association are delighted to support the Tong Toddler Group, Youth Club and Seniors Club ‘Caraidean’ and the Association will also be part of the next round of Tesco’s ‘Bags for Help’ campaign.

The funding from Tesco will hopefully help the TRA renovate new areas of the hall and purchase new equipment to host film nights and buy new equipment for the hall including a PA system and computer.

To help them with this work get voting for TRA when you are next in store.

TRA Chair Kenny Macphail said: “We are so grateful to The Scottish Landfill Communities Fund and Third Sector Hebrides for their support of Tong Hall and the important facilities we provide for the local community.
