The 2019 season for the Tumbling Lassie appeal produced net funds raised for our charities amounting to £24,000. Many thanks to all who contributed in any way to this outcome. Overall, since 2015, over £85,000 (net of expenses) has been raised for the charities we support.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, there are no Tumbling Lassie events being planned until we are free to meet up again in person. We look forward to that time and hope you will rejoin us then.
