Beating the drum for military charities - the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo will be donating £750,000 to various military and arts charity partners as part of its annual charitable giving. This significant contribution, the largest donation since 2019, underscores the Tattoo's longstanding commitment to supporting the armed forces and their families. This is to help ensure that those who have served their country are provided with the assistance and resources they need, as well as continuing the Tattoo’s proud support of traditional arts in Scotland.
The charities being awarded the funding are: 51 Infantry Brigade Welfare Fund, Allied Forces Foundation, Army Benevolent Fund, Army in Scotland Trust, Army Piping and Drumming Committee, Edinburgh Garrison Welfare Fund, Edinburgh International Festival, National Piping Centre, Scottish National War Memorial, Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust, the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, and the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity.
