For more than fifty years, the Tranent Belters have been an integral part of the community in and around Tranent. Our club has consistently brought joy to local residents through a variety of performances, including our much-anticipated Christmas Shows and Summer Shows. In addition, we host special events such as Ladies Days, providing entertainment and fostering a sense of togetherness.

Traditionally, one of our most effective methods of raising funds for community projects has been our annual sponsored walk. This year, we have introduced a new approach by organising a sponsored indoor cycle event. The aim is to collectively cycle 420 miles, which represents the distance between Tranent and Gilfach Goch, a place we have visited regularly throughout our history as a club.

All funds raised from our sponsored cycle will be dedicated to supporting the local community. In recent years, the proceeds from our shows and fundraising events have contributed to a number of important initiatives, including:

• Sourcing and installing no fewer than four defibrillators throughout the town to enhance public safety.

• Providing assistance to the local food bank, helping those in need.

• Sponsoring local sports teams and individuals, encouraging participation and healthy lifestyles.

• Improving quality of life for community members through a variety of supportive measures.
