Edinburgh charity, Street Assist, are asking for the public to get behind their Kilt Walk appeal as they desperately try to raise money for a new patient transport service (PTS).
The charity, which looks to keep members of the public safe during the night time economy hours of the weekend, were hoping that their Kilt Walk fundraiser would be able to raise the £15,000 that the organisation would rely on to break even for the year.
However, a rise in the use of Street Assist has meant that they have had to invest thousands in new radio equipment as well as a further £9,000 for a new PTS van which has been described as a “workhorse vehicle” by director Neil Logan.
