The historic Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness, is set to host a landmark charity fundraising evening to celebrate having raised over one million pounds for charities across the Highlands. The special evening will further those fundraising efforts, with all proceeds going directly to charities in attendance.
To date, Kingsmills Hotel have raised £1,073,895.90 for Highland charities, with “One Million Thanks” set to push that total even further.
A Celebration of the Highlands’ Generous Spirit
On Friday 19 February 2027, Kingsmills Hotel will open its doors for “One Million Thanks”: an evening dedicated to the communities, causes, and generous supporters who have helped make this extraordinary milestone possible.
The celebration is the personal vision of Chief Executive, Tony Story, who has championed charitable giving as a cornerstone of the hotel’s identity since the very beginning, driven by a belief that a business like Kingsmills has a responsibility to give back to the region that has given it so much.
Over many years, Kingsmills Hotel has worked in close partnership with a range of vital Highland charities, including mental health support service Mikeysline, children’s disability charity SNAP (Special Needs Action Project), and the much-loved Highland Hospice. Together, these organisations provide a lifeline to thousands of people across the region, and it is their work that has inspired the hotel to make charitable giving a cornerstone of its identity.
The milestone of one million pounds raised is a testament not only to the hotel’s commitment, but to the extraordinary generosity of its guests, staff, and the wider Highland community.
Tony Story, Chief Executive, Kingsmills Hotel Group, said, “Reaching one million pounds raised for local charities is a milestone that fills us with immense pride — not just as a hotel, but as a part of this remarkable Highland community. It is a reflection of the generosity of our guests, our partners, and our staff over many years.
“Mikeysline, SNAP, Highland Hospice, and all the charities we have had the privilege of supporting do extraordinary work across the region, and One Million Thanks is our way of celebrating them and ensuring that generosity continues to grow.”
An Evening to Remember
The evening will bring together supporters, partners, and charity representatives for a night of celebration and continued generosity. Charities in attendance will have the opportunity to raise vital funds for their own causes through table sales, ensuring the spirit of giving continues well beyond the milestone being marked. Kingsmills Hotel are set to host and donate an evening of exceptional hospitality with welcome drinks, auction and entertainment and a three-course dinner with wine. Tickets for this event will be sold at £95 per guest with 100% of the funds raised going directly to the represented charity.
