Extremely good value for money
We are able to stage the event thanks to the fantastic support from the Scottish Community Foundation. The charity supports the event by investing its funds to meet the promotional, fundraising and operational costs of the event not met from other sources. Without the Foundation's support, the event simply could not go ahead.
The Foundation invests its funds in the expectation of a good return on this investment. This is why we need you to raise a given amount for Scottish communities.
