The Gatliff Hebridean Hostels Trust is dedicated to running Berneray, Howmore and Rhenigidale hostels, in partnership with islanders, to a sound basic standard. Its goal is to provide hostellers, including young people of limited means, with the opportunity to stay a while to get to know, & maybe come to love, the unique culture & natural environment of the islands. (We are proud to be part of the Hostelling Scotland family.) The Gatliff Hebridean Hostels Trust was founded in 1988.
Objectives: The objects for which the Company is established are:- a) to help all, especially young persons of limited means, to a greater knowledge and love of and respect for the Isles, particularly by providing or encouraging the provision of simple accommodation for use in their travels within the Isles. b) to acquire buildings and land as simple accommodation within the Isles and to maintain the same and to allow all, especially young people of limited means admittance to the same at such times and upon such conditions as the directors do from time to time decide, such accommodation to be used principally for holiday, educational or connected purposes. c) to foster the conservation and understanding of the natural, vernacular and historic scenery, habitat, flora, fauna, buildings, monuments, culture, language and heritage of the Isles and their inhabitants. and d) to encourage (to such extent and in such manner as may be charitable) the improvement of the economic and social welfare of the inhabitants of the Isles and the improvement of communications and other facilities within, over and to the Isles.
