A huge thank you to everyone who came along to another successful charity golf day at Bruntsfield Links last week! ⛳️

It was a fantastic day, enjoyed by everyone, and we’re absolutely delighted to have smashed our fundraising total for any previous golf day 🙌

We cannot thank the amazing team at Bruntsfield Links enough for all their support and for helping to make the day so special.

And, of course, a massive thank you to everyone who came along, took part and supported such a fantastic cause. Your generosity and support mean so much to us.

We hope to see you all again soon! 💙⛳️

🤝Discipline. Integrity. Teamwork.

These are just some of the qualities you'll need to conquer 54 miles of challenging terrain in the Scottish Highlands. From your first training session to the finish line, the Cateran Yomp will test your resilience, determination and grit every step of the way. ⛰️

But it's not just about the challenge. It's about the camaraderie, the laughter on the trail, the encouragement from fellow Yompers, and the unforgettable feeling of crossing the finish line together.

Don't just take our word for it. Join us in Blairgowrie on 5-6 June 2027 and experience one of Scotland's most iconic endurance events for yourself.

Yesterday, our Chief Executive, Tim Hyams, had the honour of serving as Reviewing Officer at the 21 Royal Gun Salute, marking the 4th anniversary of His Majesty The King's accession to the throne.

ABF Chair of Trustees, Sarah Booth and members of the ABF Scotland team were proud to attend the 21 Gun Salute alongside invited guests and representatives from fellow military charities, joining in this special occasion of national and military significance.

Reflecting on the event, Major General (Ret’d) Tim Hyams said:

"It is an honour to be the Reviewing Officer at this Royal Gun Salute, marking His Majesty The King's Accession to the throne. His Majesty, and Her Majesty The Queen, who is Patron of the Army Benevolent Fund, demonstrate the most evident care and attention for the Army and its people.

In that context, it is a privilege to be representing the Army Benevolent Fund as today's Reviewing Officer. As the Army's national charity, we provide a lifetime of support to soldiers, veterans, and their families when they fall into need, such that they can live with independence and dignity."
