The Saltire Rally Club has supported a number of charities over a period of time, both directly and indirectly.
Cool Carbon; As an organisation we recognise the impact our activities have on the environment. We have committed to support a project organised by Mercy Corps through their Cool Carbon initiative. Through this the club makes dontations to the Mongolian Yak Tallow Bio Diesel scheme. More details can be found at http://www.mercycorps.org/coolcarbon
In 2009 the Club will have endeavoured to offset the carbon produced by attending, taking part in and supporting its events by 100%
Breast Cancer Care: In 2009 the Club made contributions to Breast Cancer Care from donations received at the Edradour Saltire Classic Rally. This endeavour was also supported by our event sponsor Edradour Distillery.
Scottish Cot Death Trust; We need say no more regarding this organisation, we hope our contributions have helped in some small way to bringing closer the end of such sadness. Details of the charities work can be found at;
Casting for Recovery: Our connections with the Kenmore Hotel afforded the opportunity to contribute to the work of Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland. More details on the work of this charity are at http://www.castingforrecovery.org.uk/
Atlantic Salmon Trust; This charity was supported through our connections at our “base” the Kenmore Hotel. During the last 30 years, numbers of wild Salmon returning from the sea have fallen by more than half. Wild Salmon and Sea Trout are an important natural resource.
