Welcome to the Royal Caledonian Schools Trust

Can You Help Us?

We are helping many wonderful young people, but can continue to do so only with your help.

Below are just a few ways you can help:

By agreeing to pay via your bank a small amount each month. It is surprising how, for example, £2 a month adds up.
By getting your employer to make a donation to us, the Caley. Many firms support charities but will only help those nominated by staff.
Raising money with sponsorship, pub quizzes etc. Again, many employers will match any money raised.
By making a one-off donation.

One of the many children we are able to help

Please think hard about what we are trying to do and, if you can support us financially, please complete the donation form below and send us your donation. If you are a UK taxpayer please tick the box for Gift Aid which then allows us to expand your donation by 25p per pound when we re-claim the tax - at no extra charge to you!

We also need you to introduce the Caley to your friends, societies and employers and ask them to do likewise. And of course, please consider the Caley when thinking about your legacies.

We are immensely proud of our Scholars, old and new, and now want to help an even wider group of children and young people. The Caley has always made a real difference to the lives and prospects of young Scots. Please help us continue this fine tradition.

Oh yes, one more thing - Thank you!

And introducing The Caley Photo Archive and a rather different way of helping us .....

We have a marvellous collection of photographs covering most of the ninety-three years when the Schools were in Bushey. Each month we will add a few more to our News Page. Many of the subjects or occasions are not known to us. If you can identify them please let us know.

A selection of the photos is included in our booklet 'Life and Times at the Caley', an illustrated history of the Schools which costs £6.00. To obtain a copy please send your name, address and a cheque for £6.00 made payable to RCST to the above address.

Can you help Shawn?

Swimmers in Balloch are showing a fine example to those who the Caley have been able to help. Tricia Lawrence and her son Shawn, joined by neighbours and friends have decided to swim the equivalent of the West Highland Way. For Shawn that means 896 demanding lengths of their local pool. Tricia said “The Caley has really helped me and Shawn and has helped him progress to international standard with his swimming, so we wanted to do something in return”. Shawn who suffers from Cerebral Palsy is a member of the Helensburgh Amateur swimming club. So far £300 has been raised other donations can be made via the “Donate Now ” button. Thank you.
