RURAL CHARITY RSABI has signed up Glenalmond College as the first-ever school member of its Supporters’ Scheme.

To mark the occasion, the Perthshire school welcomed RSABI vice-chairman David Leggat and Highland bull Donald onsite.

Mr Leggat, who will take over the reins as chairman of RSABI next month, said that the charity very much appreciated Glenalmond’s support: “The work delivered by RSABI to provide emotional, practical and financial support for individuals and their families is invaluable and we very much depend on our supporters to ensure we are able to meet demand for these vital services.”

The charity recently launched an appeal to attract 500 additional supporters and Mr Leggat said it was fantastic to have a well-regarded school like Glenalmond among its new supporters.

“We’re helping around 25 to 30 new clients every month, and we expect demand for our services to continue to increase in the coming months so Glenalmond’s support, and enthusiasm for the work of the charity, is extremely welcome.”
