This year we are proud to be working with the Black Isle Brewery to bring you the Kessock Ferry Swim.
"The driving force behind what we do at Black Isle has always amounted to something much bigger than brewing great beer alone. We want to demonstrate that this can be done using naturally grown barley and hops, supporting organic farmers and growers who also care for the environment and their communities. We are delighted to be able to support Aban, with whom we share many key values, particularly in our vision for reconnecting young people with nature and the great outdoors.”
Black Isle Brewery will be entering a very slow-paced team, as well as supplying alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers for swimmers and supporters on the day.
2024 Community Partner - Merkinch Primary School Parent Council
Following the recent dissolution of the South Kessock Residents Association, we are now partnering with the Merkinch Primary School Parent Council for the 2024 Kessock Ferry Swim. A grant of £1,500 will be made after the event.
"Merkinch Primary School Parent Council supports our school and Merkinch primary school ELC. This includes donations towards new books, playground equipment, P7 leavers parties and Halloween Discos. On the day of the events, where possible and needed we help out at the event too.
We are in process of organising a fun day out and car boot sale at the school grounds in September, where we plan to have different stalls and activities and food. As the newly appointed parent council we will put the money to great use. We are looking to raise funds so that our children can get great experiences while learning. We are raising funds for days out that the kids have not had since pre-covid. We are also looking at getting equipment into the school that benefits all ages from ELC to P7. As Merkinch Primary school is classed as a deprived setting we are trying to raise funds so that the children within the school don't feel they are missing out on activities that other schools may experience. The grant money will be a great starting point towards this."
