This is our why. Our St Andrews beaches should be accessible to all. For everyone to enjoy it together. We have amazing people who donate and volunteer their time to support the St Andrews Beach Wheelchairs and we are so glad that it makes a walk on the beach possible.

It's always lovely to get such positive feedback ✨

Thanks Bob and Blether for the kind donation to the Castle Sands Forever project.

💜 We are thrilled to announce that together we raised an incredible £20,000 at our International Women’s Day Charity Event. 💜

This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the generosity of our guests, sponsors, donors, volunteers and supporters. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making the event such a success.

The funds raised will be distributed between local Women’s Aid charities, helping to provide vital support, protection and services for women and families in our community, as well as contributing to the restoration of the Castle Sands Tidal Pool.

We are delighted to announce that the date for next year will be Sunday the 7th of March and we are proud to be working with who will be hosting our wonderful event for the third year running and we are so grateful to them.

Tickets for next year will go on sale in the next 6 weeks so keep your eyes peeled. 👀

✨ Together we raised £20,000. Together we are creating positive change. ✨
