Today some of the Aberfeldy Highland Ball Committee Members presented Tayside Mountain Rescue Team with a cheque for £4,731 at Glen Lyon Coffee Aberfeldy. This was the sum raised from the fantastic 2023 Highland Ball held on Saturday 2nd December at Blair Castle.
Tayside Mountain Rescue Team is made up entirely of volunteers who live in the operational area. It is entirely funded by contributions and fundraising. Team Members are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to help anyone who is in trouble in the mountains.
They don’t get paid to do this job – They do it because they choose to.
But the team can’t do it without the tools and equipment needed to save lives
The money raised at the Aberfeldy Highland Ball is being used to help purchase a new off road vehicle to allow the team to get to where they need to quicker helping save lives.
A big shout out to all those who attended the ball and all those who didn’t but gave generous donations to this worthy cause and also Ballintaggart for the catering.

Great News.
