Kiltwalk Glasgow 30 April 2023

Last year, Team Clan Arthur raised a magnificent £1,753 in sponsorship at the Glasgow Kiltwalk. We received an extra 50% top up of £877 from the Hunter Foundation, resulting in a total of £2,630 raised for the Clan Arthur Ancestral Lands Trust. So, we are doing it again this year, on Sunday 30th April, and we are asking you once more to dig deep and sponsor us.

This year The Hunter Foundation are not adding the 50% top up, but we do have the benefit of 25% Gift Aid option from any UK tax payer who sponsors us, which was not available last year. So, if you live in the UK and sponsor us £1.00 with Gift Aid, then we should receive £1.25. Please visit Hugh's Just Giving page and give a little to help secure the ancient and noble Clan Arthur's future home . . .
