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 - £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.

Childline - £1,000
BDAS entered the largest group in the Kiltwalk and chose Childline to receive 50% of what they raised.
Naomi House - £3,000
The first Kiltwalk in England was organised by Jim Finlay, and we hope will be copied many times - Scots around the World raising money for local children.
Naomi House is a hospice in Hampshire
