Charities

We are passionate about supporting local charities. This year, we are committed to supporting an incredible charity; Make a Wish Foundation.

Make a Wish is an incredible charity, close to the hearts of the Forbes family. Over 60,000 children in the UK have been diagnosed with a critical condition, changing their lives and the lives of their families forever. For them, the joy of childhood is brought to an abrupt end, with treatment plans, hospital visits and sleepless nights taking over. A wish revives a childhood stolen by critical illness. It brings light and joy to children and their loved ones and leaves a profound and lasting impact on all their lives.

We will be raising money throughout the year with our own events as well as team funding. Please keep an eye on our Events Page to see what we have coming up.

We regularly support Casting for Recovery, who provide an opportunity for women whose lives have been profoundly affected by breast cancer to gather on retreat in a natural setting and learn the sport of fly fishing. For more information on Casting for recovery please click here.

Sponsorship

Forbes of Kingennie are the proud main sponsors for the Scottish Youth Fly Fishing Team. Mike Forbes himself, a former National Fly Fishing Champion and Captain of the Senior Scottish International Fly Fishing Team, is passionate about youth fishing and promoting the sport to the younger generation. The Scottish Fly Fishing Youth Team comprises 14 members and 2 reserves and is open to boys & girls under the age of eighteen. For more information on the youth team please click here.

Our very own Marketing and Accommodation Manager, Charlotte Gammie, was the top goal scorer for Montrose Ladies FC last season. We are delighted to be her main sponsor for the season and we wish the team all the best!

Past Charities

We support a variety of charities throughout the year. In 2015 we raised over £8,000 for Tayside Children with Cancer and Leukaemia (TCCL), who are a wonderful local charity that the Forbes family hold close to their hearts. For more information on TCCL please click here. Cash for Kids was on of our previous chosen charities and we managed to raise over £5,000 with the help of all who attended our Sportsman's Dinner.

The Boathouse was fantastic, it was in the most fantastic setting. Inside had everything we needed. We both fully enjoyed the relaxing surroundings and will definitely be returning. We would highly recommend the Boathouse to anybody who is looking for an escape.

Just thought I would drop you an email to let you know how much me, my family and friends enjoyed the weekend. The North and South Kingennie Courts were amazing, really gorgeous. We really felt like we were looked after by your staff in the restaurant and obviously by yourself. Thank you very much indeed for everything, it's was definitely a weekend I will remember.

To all the staff at Forbes of Kingennie, thank you to all of you for making our recent D750 Reunion weekend such a success. Our members voted it the best yet and praised all aspects of your work, especially the food and the service. All of you have excellent customer presentation.

I would like to thank you for the most wonderful weekend we have just spent at the Leannan Boathouse. It puts self catering in a different light. The Boathouse is excellent and very well equipped to a high standard. We have visited 4 and 5 star hotels around the world, and they are not as nice as this Boathouse.
Shirley Rood, Aberdeen

I organise dinners at the House of Commons, at the Carlton Club in St James’s and at our local Michelin-starred Manor House Hotel & Country Club at Castle Combe - your performance at our weekend equalled the best that those establishments have to offer. Needless to say we will be back!
