TACC Kiltwalk Grants Print E-mail

The TACC Kiltwalk has provided a step change in the way that TACC supports Scottish charities.

Already in 2010 we have been able to make over £15,000 in Kiltwalk grants to the following:

 

 

Hopscotch-320x240

Hopscotch - £6,000

Chris Turner organised an alternative Kiltwalk, from Glen Coe to (and up) Ben Nevis, for 30 supporters. TACC invited the group to choose another children's charity to receive 50% of what they raised, and they chose Hopscotch.

 

The charity provides a respite holiday centre for disadvantaged children.
