RECORD HAUL FOR CHARITIES AT EMFF 2011

We are delighted to say that over £2,600 was raised for our nominated charities at the 9th EMFF in October 2011. Our evening raffles were generously supported and there were lots of donations too as the Mountain Rescue team took the time to show people round their new Landrover.

The John Muir Trust also made lots of sales at its stand and recruited a few new members. All in all a good weekend's work! Thanks for your help in supporting these charities!

EMFF JOINS 1% GROUP
20 September 2007

Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival has become the 700th member of the visionary environmental group, 'One Percent For The Planet'. Perhaps surprisingly, the EMFF is just the 2nd Scottish member of this group.

One Percent for the Planet is an international alliance of companies that recognize the true cost of doing business and donate 1% of their sales to environmental organizations worldwide. These donations are a bold statement of members' committment to the environment.

The charity was founded by the well-known mountaineer, Yvon Chouinard, who also founded outdoor clothing company, Patagonia.

As well as joining the group, the EMFF is upping its own environmental credentials by printing its programmes on recycled paper, and providing better facilities for recycling at the event itself.
