Two sides to every story, so it would be good to hear their side of the events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyAlba Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thought of travelling up to do a kilt walk, but decided to do my own walk. Got put off by the minimum figure to raise. Hope that they have been misreprensented On the subject of travel ect. Some of the charities I'm raising for actively sugguested taking money from sponsorship to cover my costs. Which I obviously declined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigieBrown Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Over several years, I have heard several people openly voice concerns over accountability regarding Tartan Army related charitable activities that Carey McEvoy was involved with and would have nothing to do with it. I don't know all the details but maybe they might have had some reasoning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know all the details but maybe they might have had some reasoning? no smoke without fire? I think there needs to be an enquiry. Innocent until proven guilty. But I understand no laws have been broken as there is no legislation that a charity must pass on x% to the the good causes. Surely this must be reviewed in light of these revelations, < 50% of funds raised going to the good causes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this must be reviewed in light of these revelations, < 50% of funds raised going to the good causes. Even if there isnt legislation to say x amount must be handed over to the charity, less than 50% is a truly shocking figure. Part of me considered withdrawing from it. I had started to badger folk for money, not in a bad way, just being a bit more bold in my approach. As far as i knew it was all going to the charity, so the more money i raised, the better it would be for the charities. Thought i was doing it in good faith, not lining the pockets of the kiltwalk.

deacon Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 For those who were questioning costs and percentage of money donated to Childrens charities then please read the full report above. I have no doubt that with the backing of The Hunter Foundation we will flourish and go on to return every pound raised to the people who need it most.
