As COP26 approaches, four teams from SAC Consulting, part of Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC), are this month taking on a charity challenge covering more than 3,500 miles.

Colleagues from across the organisation are competing to walk, run, cycle, swim or row the total distance from each of the 24 consulting offices to where the climate change conference is taking place in Glasgow from 31 October.

With offices as far afield as Lerwick in Shetland to Kendal in Cumbria, the ‘Great SAC Consulting Challenge Tour D’Office’ will cover a total distance of 3,589 miles to raise money for four different charities.

Here in the South East, we're supporting Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance. We hope you will support this charity and the vital service it provides. 

Who will reach COP26 first? Will we get there before the end of October? Follow the teams’ progress on social media #SACTDO.

Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance is Scotland’s only charity-funded air ambulance service. They rely on public support to keep flying and responding to time-critical emergencies wherever they occur in Scotland. From bases in Perth and Aberdeen they can reach 90% of Scotland’s population within 25 minutes, providing a vital lifeline to communities all over the country. Their mission is to deliver more care, more quickly, to more people across Scotland - but can only keep flying and saving lives with your support.
