Westray winter hub leaves community wanting more

People in Westray have been keeping warm this winter while enjoying a bowl of soup and a yarn at a new social hub.

The hub, a joint effort between Westray Baptist Kirk and Westray Church of Scotland, has been a roaring success according to organisers, with a growing number of folk turning up for a bite and a blether each Monday.

Last week, the final hub of the winter season took place, with waffles, pampering sessions, toys, knitting and jigsaws all available. While it will take a break in the summer, it is hoped that the sessions may resume when the dark nights draw in.
