Book now for the third biennial Scottish Transaid dinner

Two previous dinners have each raised more than GBP100,000 through ticket sales, sponsorship and a generous charity auction for international development organisation Transaid. Funds raised previously have supported Transaid's life-saving access to healthcare and road safety initiatives across sub-Saharan Africa, including the development of new pilot projects. Joan Aitken, chair of Transaid and former Scottish Traffic Commissioner, said: "It has been incredible to see the transport industry come together for this event on both previous occasions in 2022 and 2024.

"The bar has been set incredibly high, with more than 300 colleagues attending last year's event, drawn from across Scotland's road transport industry. "Corporate support has also grown, with truck dealers, manufacturers, transport operators, industry suppliers and trade associations moving quickly to secure tables. We're returning to the same fantastic venue next year, and we look forward to seeing this event continue to expand."

McGill's Bus Group and the Malcolm Group have been quick to come on board as early sponsors, with additional opportunities available to suit all budgets. A headline entertainment act is due to be announced in the coming months, building on the success of Scottish comedian Ray Bradshaw's appearance last year, following his highly successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Tables of 10 at the event are priced at GBP1,000, or there's the option to purchase individual tickets at GBP100 per person.
