COVID 19 STATEMENT:
Due to COVID-19 and the related lockdown, the Edinburgh Sutherland Association has been unable to raise funds with our usual events since mid-March 2020.
We are a small charity, holding fundraising events for good causes in Sutherland. Given we have had to postpone various events, we have not been able to raise enough money to provide donations as would be normal at this time of year.
We apologise to those who might have been planning to apply for funds. However, we hope to be able to raise money in the coming months using alternative methods, such as encouraging donations, online events and sponsored initiatives. Should we manage to raise the much needed funds, we aim to make donations at a later date. Please click below for our full COVID-19 statement.

about us
What we do
The Association has been going from strength to strength in recent years, our fund-raising events allowing us to donate thousands of pounds to good causes in Sutherland. We can only continue to donate to the causes we support in the county via the money raised by your donations, membership fees, sponsorship and participation in our events.
We invite charities and good causes related to and based in Sutherland to apply to the Association for a donation from our funds. The committee then discuss the applicants at the AGM and monetary contributions are awarded where agreed.
