Health Promotion, in partnership with Comhairle nan Eilean Siar and Tagsa Uibhist organised a Santa Dash to encourage workplaces and the community, in and around Balivanich, to participate in a walk/jog/dash, round a 1.5 mile loop.

Participants paid £3 to enter and dress in a Santa Suit and hat, with proceeds donated to the Mental Health Outreach Service/Horticulture Project (Tagsa Uibhist).  The sucessful event attracted 26 people, one horse, three ponies and three dogs and raised £260, and allowed people to come together in a social, fun environment whilst participating in some physical activity.
