Ally and John from TACC recently visited Alicante in preperation for the next TACC donation. TACC are making a donation of €17,000 to an organisation called EMAUS.

Our grant will be funding a new playground at one home, and a small football pitch at another, bringing a little bit of fun to their lives.

Below is a clip from Bay Radio - Ally was interviewed by Bay Radio to help spread the word of the Tartan Army donation and EMAUS.

Bay Radio were delighted with the generosity of the Tartan Army:

" I am still in awe of what you guys do. I have worked with a charity, Race for Life, and I know how much effort goes into fundraising and have done all sorts of sponsored events to raise money including the Camino de Santiago and sometimes the output v return is crazily weighted against you, so such a large donation for such little effort is a true gift. Restores ones faith in humanity. Thank you."

Tartan Army foot soldiers who want to contribute - check back for information on TACC events in Spain. Details will follow shortly.

TACC also featured in the printed press - 'Costa Blanca News' 23/29 September - click on the image below to see the full article.

TACC have chosen a group of children's homes for the Spain donation in October. There are 12 homes in the Alicante area run my a charity called EMAUS, including one for babies.

TACC will be:

- Donating £15,000 to build a sports area/football pitch at one home and a playground at another

- Taking over a truck load of clothes and toys to the baby home

- Organising a party for the children at one of the homes, with the Caledonian Brewery Pipe Band and fellow supporters attending
