North-east cancer charity hold fundraising event at local landmark

A cancer charity is launching a new event to raise cash this autumn.

Clan will host Clan at the Castle at Crathes Castle on September 10.

The historic castle near Banchory will provide the picturesque backdrop for three sponsored walks, and there will also be some inflatable fun, entertainment and refreshments.

Participants can choose from a single mile, five mile or 13 mile walk through the grounds.

Steph Dowling, the charity’s fundraising team member, said: “We really wanted to create a day which had something for everyone, whether you are taking part as an individual, families and groups or corporate teams.”

For more information, to register – or to sign up as a volunteer for the event – visit www.clanhouse.org

The fun day will run between 10am and 4pm, wristbands being available for a charge of £5 or from the website.
