Dunfermline based running club, Carnegie Harriers were delighted to make a donation of £820 recently to the Scottish Police Benevolent Fund. This donation was raised from part of the entry fees for the Carnegie Harriers Devilla Forest Trail races held in February. These races start and finish within the grounds of the Scottish Police College at Tulliallan and provide an excellent base for race registration, changing and car parking.

The Charity is the official charity of the Police Service of Scotland and aims to deliver high quality Benevolent & Welfare services to improve the quality of life of its membership who are in conditions of need.

The Scottish Police Benevolent Fund is delighted to support the “Over The Wall ” Charity with £18,000 of funding over the next three years. Over The Wall delivers life changing camps for seriously ill children, their siblings and families. The charity has previously been supported by Police Scotland through the provision of its premises at the Scottish Police College, Tulliallan.
Many Police Officers and Staff, such as Inspector Neil Whiteside, have also volunteered their time, expertise and enthusiasm at the camps.
Martin Bertram, Chair of Scottish Police Benevolent Fund (SPBF) explained, “The SPBF is the official charity of the Police Service of Scotland. Given Over The Wall’s strong connections with Police Scotland and the assistance many in the police family have had from it, we were delighted t0 put in place this financial support.”
Accepting the cheque on behalf of Over The Wall, Trustee John Welsh said, “The Police Service of Scotland has been a great help to our charity. Tulliallan is a great venue for OTW camps and volunteers like Neill Whiteside are fundamental to their success. I’d like to thank Martin and all of his colleagues for this generous donation.”
Over The Wall is one of four charities which will benefit from the Rob Roy Challenge being held on 20.06.2015. The more participants the more the charities will benefit. If you or any of your colleagues would like to participate please get more information from www.robroychallenge.com
