The 42nd Annual Sports Charity Scotland Fundraising Dinner
Our Sports Charity Scotland Dinner 2025 was nothing short of spectacular. With the fabulous Eilidh Barbour, Alex Fleming, Tommy Bowe, Meghan Gaffney, and Gavin Hastings, the night was filled with inspiration, laughter, and generosity.
Huge cheers to our incredible drinks sponsors—Vino, Edinburgh Gin, and Black Isle Brewery—for keeping the celebration flowing!
We raised a phenomenal amount to champion the life-changing work of our partner charities: School of Hard Knocks and Scottish Sporting Futures, alongside this we were also able to extend support to Teenage Cancer Trust and Hearts and Balls.

The 41st Annual Sports Charity Scotland Fundraising Dinner
Was held at Prestonfield House Stables on Friday 23rd February 2024.
Our prestigious pre-Calcutta Cup event proved to be a wonderful occasion with large amounts of money raised for our two partner charities The Lords’ Taverner’s Scotland and Tiny Changes.
The evening was once again hosted by the fabulous Eilidh Barbour, with world-renowned rugby referee Nigel Owens as our principal guest speaker. Additional contributions came from former rugby internationalists Megan Gaffney and Stuart McInally. Our magnificent auctioneer this year was the irrepressible Willie Hunter.

The Annual Sports Charity Scotland Fundraising Dinner
We held our delayed 2022 dinner on the 10th March 2023 at Prestonfield House.
A huge thanks to all our supporters for making our dinner, earlier this year, such a success. Your generosity enabled us to raise over £30,000 which has been distributed between Lords’ Taverners Scotland, SAMH, Teenage Cancer Trust and Riding for the Disabled Glasgow.
Our gratitude also goes to Eilidh Barbour who was such a marvellous host, Andy Nicol as our persuasive auctioneer and our fantastic team of speakers, Sir Ian McGeechan, Gordon Sherry and Sammi Kinghorn whose speech will live long in the memory of those present.
