We act as custodians of the world famous Orb trademark which appears on every length of tweed that has been stamped as genuinely handwoven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. In the mid-19th century, the Isle of Harris was owned by the Earl of Dunmore and his wife, Lady Dunmore, who first saw the potential for selling this fabric, produced by the tenants on their looms, to her acquaintances in London. As its reputation grew rapidly, and Harris Tweed was embraced by royalty, the industry had to be adapted to commercial production – while still maintaining the crucial requirement that it must be handwoven at the home of the weaver. Success led to imitations and legal protection was sought for the genuine article. The Harris Tweed Association was formed in 1909 and the adoption, a year later, of the world-famous Orb trade mark, which authenticates genuine Harris Tweed. This provided common law protection as a certification trademark and this provided the basis for The Act of Parliament which was finally passed in 1993.

Visitors to the islands are always struck by the care that our people have for each other. The Hospice is a perfect illustration of this. So many people have seen for themselves the wonderful work that is done, and wish to join us in showing compassion to those who are in need. It was no surprise when Bethesda received the Investor In People award. As a truly local charity we provide rewarding employment for 49 staff of various skills, placement opportunities for students, and a focal point for volunteer work and fundraising. With so many different people involved, openness in communication and an ongoing programme of training are vital. We must never lose our vision. Our community needs us. We need our community. The unit is run on an entirely non-profit basis. The Nursing Home beds are primarily occupied by clients of the Western Isles Council Social Work Department and is therefore self-financing. By contrast, less than 50% of Hospice costs are met by the Western Isles Health Board. The shortfall must be raised from charitable contributions, grants and fundraising. For 2006/2007 this shortfall amounted to £159,000.
