The Builders Merchants Federation (BMF), who have chosen TEFT as one of their two charity partners for 2025, launched their fundraising activities on 24th January. They shared this report with us:

"BMF members and guests attended the annual Burns Night supper, braving hurricane-force winds and torrential rain swept in by Storm Eowyn, Scotland's worst storm in a decade. The Burns Night celebration commemorates the life and works of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns. Guests enjoyed the traditional piping in and addressing of the haggis and a live auction which boosted the funds raised. Although the ferocious weather prevented many from attending, the generosity of the 200 hardy revellers who managed to make their way to the venue meant that the fantastic sum of £4,500 was raised for TEFT/ Kisima."

Great thanks go to the BMF and we look forward to hearing more about their fundraising events over the course of the year.
