About Us

The Sportsman's Charity was founded in 1983 by David MacLean and John Frame, who wished to help provide opportunities for others which they themselves, as Sportsmen, had enjoyed in all fields.

The general aim of The Sportsman's Charity is, in partnership with individuals, charities and the corporate sector, to generate funds for charitable purposes. This partnership understands the need to bring value to you, your business or organisation for your involvement as stakeholders in our business.

The mission of The Sportsman's Charity is to make charity-giving a natural and involving experience, by those who can, for those who cannot.  We are, to our knowledge, the only charity which acts in partnership with you, to raise funds for your causes.

Ultimately, to achieve happiness for ourselves, we believe we have to work to make the world a better place for others.

What do we do? What can we do?

Any companies or individuals who have a wish to participate in the charitable sector or social economy require a route.  We are one such route.

We provide a unique conduit to any who wish to make a difference to our social fabric.

Few people avoid hurdles.  Every family or company, large or small, has people at their core, who are a part of the community.  There are children, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, friends, some doing well, some not, some feeling well, some not.  Their challenges, in whatever shape or size, become everyone's challenge.  If not today, then possibly tomorrow.

We aspire to help you, corporately or personally, to be involved and to effect a wish to assist others' needs

Raising money and running events involves expertise and inside knowledge, whether for your clients, or staff, for your cause, for your company's cause, for your community's cause or for the family next door's cause.

We will run your events for you and with you, for your purpose

We are quite good at making money but we have, in the Scottish Community Foundation, a partner who are experts at distributing it - to our or your particular causes.

So we can help you raise the money and we get others to find "good people doing good work"  to help spend it effectively.  Or we just give it to the charity you have chosen

In short ....  We run our own events, which you may choose to attend - see our events page! - or we run your events.

We are self sufficient so we do not ask you for money.  Your support may be in whatever form that suits you - which means, in our book, what is good for you.  And however you choose to become involved, your support will add to our efforts.

If you wish to become involved, but are not sure how, we can talk to you about considering................

• Becoming a supporter of our fixed costs thus releasing an equivalent distribution amount in your personal or company name

• Looking at our events and signing up to participate

• Talking to us about the benefits deriving from being involved

• Talking about an event or fundraiser you want to see happen but don't know where to start

• Accepting our help and input on a planned CSR policy which you want but don't yet have

• implementing a joint "flow through" fund where you determine the distribution brief - in your name

• Inviting your staff to raise funds for their particular causes, while having fun, feeling good and raising your company's image

• Ascribing legacies to us to assist in the unique long term work we do.

Interested or even sort of interested?  Just phone John Frame on 07715112784 to take the first step.
