A group of police officers are to raise funds to recognise a charity's work at the scene of the Clutha Vaults helicopter crash.
The 11 officers will get on their marks for a fundraising run in Edinburgh to recognise The Salvation Army's work at the scene of the tragedy which left 10 people dead when a police helicopter crashed into the busy bar's roof in November last year.
They will compete in this Saturday's Great Winter Run to thank the church and charity for providing food, drink and support to emergency workers.
PC Craig Cameron, who is helping organise the fundraising event, said: "This tragic incident has had a profound impact on Greater Glasgow Division and the rest of the force.
"A number of people in the division said they would like to raise money for the voluntary groups that supported the emergency services at the scene."
A main appeal fund has amassed more than £220,000 worth of donations.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
