What a wonderful Saturday we had! On the 15th of March our amazing supporters (we are rather biased but we'd say they are the best supporters) took on the abseil off the Falkirk Wheel and together they collectively raised £6,330 for Scottish Families. We couldn't do it without you all so thank you 🤩
