Pupils at Sgoil an Rubha in Point, Lewis, are putting their creative skills at the forefront of their business by making and selling high quality Harris Tweed products.

Proceeds from sales will go to the Leanne Fund, a local cystic fibrosis charity.

Pupils will be presented with an award through the Social Enterprise in Schools Awards scheme at a ceremony on Friday.
 
The programme was established by the Social Enterprise Academy in 2014 which has been working with primary and high schools from the Western Isles to Mull, Inverness and Orkney.

Funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), the awards showcase schools where pupils have set up and managed their own business and used the profits for a social purpose.

Neil Ross, head of community growth at HIE, said: ”HIE is delighted to see how the Social Enterprise in Schools programme continues to inspire and nourish such a fantastic range of innovative enterprise and deliver significant locally focused social outcomes.

"We look forward to realising the full potential of these young social entrepreneurs as they flourish in our society.”
