Help Us Celebrate 30 Years of the Puffin Hydrotherapy Pool
2026 marks 30 years of the Puffin Hydrotherapy Pool supporting children and adults across the Highlands. During those three decades, thousands of families have benefited from our unique facility, and now we need your help to ensure the Pool continues to provide this invaluable service for many years to come.
Throughout our anniversary year we have a fantastic list of fundraising events. Whether you can attend an event, buy a raffle ticket, make a donation, or simply help spread the word, every contribution makes a real difference.
A huge thank you to everyone who has already supported us. We couldn't do this without our amazing volunteers, fundraisers, local businesses and community.

Thank You for Your Incredible Support!
A huge thank you to everyone who supported Angus in his Cairngorms Ultra Trail challenge.
On 13 June 2026, Angus successfully completed the challenging 60km Cairngorms Ultra Trail—his first ever ultra-marathon—and, thanks to your incredible generosity, raised an amazing £1,015.69.
Every donation, message of encouragement and word of support helped make this challenge a success.
The funds have gone towards replacing the Pool's original hoist, and we are delighted to share that the new hoist is now installed and already in use, helping ensure the Pool remains safe and fully accessible for everyone who relies on this vital service.
Thank you to everyone who donated and supported Angus.
