Many of you know that as well as my veterinary and human integrative medicine work, I set up an arts charity called Scott Creative Arts Foundation (SCAF) back in 2016 along with a Community Garden Project. We are hosting a charity event on THURSDAY 16th APRIL in collaboration with Bryan Smart Racing. The event is to raise funds for Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity and SCAF on the afternoon. We would love it if some of you could join us for a fun afternoon.

Join us for SCAF CHARITY RACE DAY, a fun-filled day of races supporting a great cause—don’t miss out!
