Workshops & Activities
How we can help
Mental wellbeing is a key factor influencing everything from employment to family relationships and community participation. RagTag is a unique and invaluable resource in Skye and Lochalsh for people with varying mental health concerns.
We provide a secure, calm and responsive environment that enables people to occupy themselves in a meaningful and creative way – increasing confidence, motivation and wellbeing.
People come to Rag Tag as part of their journey to wellbeing. We offer a supportive environment where you can lose yourself in craftwork and learn new skills.
Become a Student
We offer support and training in Broadford through small, friendly workshops led by experienced tutors. In these workshops, students work in a supportive environment where they can learn new skills and pursue interests tailored to their individual needs. Our creative up-cycling projects not only provide unique crafts but also help reduce waste going into landfill.
Student workshop sessions take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Open to the public - Supporting the whole community
We also offer opportunities to socialise and learn new crafting skills to our whole community on Monday and Thursdays
Open workshops
These tutor-led workshops are open to all and provide opportunities to engage in a range of interesting activities aimed at both community well-being and skill development. Funding for the free workshops has come to an end but we plan to launch a programme of exciting new workshops that will be moderately priced to reach as many people as possible.
Reuse & repair skills cafes
Starting in May 2026 we have an exciting new project funded by the Highland Council’s Reuse & Repair Fund.
We will run a weekly Skills Café open to the public. Some of these workshop sessions will show people how to make and repair clothing using traditional creative skills such as sewing, knitting and crocheting. We hope to offer sessions on furniture repair. Other sessions will upskill individuals to make better use of their own food waste, e.g. easy soup making and simple garden growing skills and composting. See our News section and Facebook pages for weekly information.
