Well, our anniversary fundraising efforts for 2025 are coming to an end, and I have tonight also emptied and paid in the cash money boxes we had in place for cash donations - which has come to another £70 - and 2 pence - for Cash for Kids for the North of Scotland. That brings the total to £1259.85, more than double what I had hoped for!
Thank you so much to everyone who supported us with a donation, who bought our raffle tickets (staff and guests alike) and not to forget my 60k hike companions - it all started with planning an anniversary walk through the Cairngorms to celebrate our 60th anniversary, and it got us so much more than just blisters and midge bites and a few spare pennies rattling in our donation bucket.
We better come up with a plan now on how we are going to top this in 2026!
