Organisations and their representatives were Jerry Beaulier for Beach Wheelchairs, Olav Darge for Madras College, Hannah Fergague for the Thistle Foundation, Morag Hamilton for The Wave Project, John Helliwell for Mary’s Meals, Wilber Sabiiti for the King’s Norton Foundation, and Doug Stephen for Friends of Craigtoun.

Funds have also been sent abroad, to Ukraine and following the floods in Pakistan and the earthquake in Syria and Turkey
