West Highland Way Sponsored Walk
SCALP was delighted to receive a cheque for over £500 from Mr Michael O'Neil and his wife, who had both walked the West Highland Way. Michael had previously been a beneficiary of SCALP for a project and was pleased to be able to help SCALP in this way. Below is a photo taken at the end of the day (it's great they still manage to look cheerful despite having sore feet!!). Well done!
