Charities

Leven wants to do something for Scotland, for those who often cannot help themselves, and in particular for his home city, Edinburgh. He has set about to raise a substantial amount of money for two charities, both with a Scottish focus.

Personal donations and pledges can be made via this website or by cheque. All donations will be divided between the two chosen charities (The Sportsman’s Charity and The OneCity Trust).

The Sportsman's Charity - SC033982 In partnership with individuals, other charities and the corporate sector, the charity supports young people, families and disabled sport. Money raised from this expedition will specifically assist disabled sports projects in Scotland. www.sportsmanscharity.com "I hope that you will find first in your heart and then in your budget, a wish to support Leven in achieving this thrilling, dangerous and very very British enterprise!" John Frame Chief Executive

The One City Trust - SCO34165 A unique initiative that channels funds, enthusiasm and ideas from the people and businesses of Edinburgh and spreads the benefits throughout the city. The charity is specifically aimed at those organisations or projects working at grassroots level to improve and strengthen communities. Money raised from this expedition will assist small groups and charities throughout Edinburgh who work to tackle social exclusion. www.onecitytrust.org "We are thrilled to be involved and urge everyone to (metaphorically!) get on board to support this adventure" Teri Wishart Trust Development Manager
