Glasgow named Scotland’s ‘most generous city’ after response to Hoy appeal
Glasgow raised over £3.1 million through high-profile campaigns including the Tour de 4, making it Scotland’s top city for fundraising generosity on GoFundMe.
- GoFundMe named Glasgow, Scotland's most generous city, after 2025's donations exceeded £3.1 million, and Tim Cadogan presented an award to Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren.
- Responding to major campaigns, Glasgow's ranking reflected big appeals including Sir Chris's Tour de 4, which raised more than £3.1 million in 2025 and £64,000 for Greg Monks' search operation.
- Community fundraisers across Scotland added substantial donations, raising more than £103,000 for Eilidh Lowell and £64,000 for Kevin Wemyss, alongside a gift from former Scotland star Robert Snodgrass.
- As the UK ranking shows, Glasgow sits behind Liverpool but leads Scotland, with Edinburgh tenth in the UK; Jacqueline McLaren said it `speaks volumes about the type of city we are'.
- The timing of the award follows last year’s peak donation day on September 7, and the 2026 Tour de 4 will support five major UK cancer charities.
