Who We Support

Since its beginnings in 1983, The Sportsman's Charity has raised over £2m for the following charities or projects. Following the principle that we support those who are already supporting themselves, most of the distribution has been in the form of small grants. Given that there are around 25,000 charities operating in Scotland, we feel that we should support those who are self supporting in their day-to-day running, but where extra funds can make a difference. We support good people doing good work. We approve of planned giving.

We also support a small number of larger charities which meet our criteria by accepting auction items to sell on their behalf. Two examples from the 2008 Dinner are Poppy Scotland and The Teenage Cancer Trust, both of which we shall continue to support.

Below is a list of all the groups, organisations and charities which have been supported by the Sportsman's Charity since its founding.

Finally we support other charities by partnering them in fund raising exercises.  We are primarily skilled in event organisation, and are happy to share these skills in partnership.  All money raised in a good cause is good money!

Below is an A-Z list of all the charities and projects we support. Please select the corresponding letter to locate a good cause.
