The Foundation is a charity - which means no-one gets paid to do anything, and any money we raise from competitions, fund-raising, etc. goes straight back into fencing.

The Council members are all fencing parents who travel up and down the country during the season for competitions (and back and forth to club nights and coaching sessions all year round). We also all have day jobs that only leaves a limited amount of time to spend on "Foundation type stuff".
(BTW - none of us are fencers ourselves - which surprises some folks, but just shows that you don't need to know how to fence to help others enjoy their fencing...)

This also means we are totally dependent upon the people, companies and organisations who offer their help, support, sponsorship, discounts, assistance, guidance and lots of other things to help us help the fencers and young people the Foundation seeks to target.

We're always careful to say "THANK YOU" to each and every person or body that helps us out on behalf of the fencers - but you can't say it loudly enough or too often - so these pages are to let us say once again (and to do so 24x7 across the entire interweb) how much we appreciate the help you have given us and the difference you've made to the delivery of the sport of fencing in Scotland.

If you're a fencer who competes in one of the YDS comps (or a fencing parent), or use some of the kit we have been able to provide thanks to the effort of the folks listed here then please make sure you tell them how much their help means to you when you see them too!

Thanks,
