About the Russell Hogg Trust

Russell was a Scottish Badminton Internationalist who hailed from Dunfermline. Scotland’s third most capped male player with 117 appearances and a member of the 2002 Commonwealth Games Team who won a bronze medal in Manchester. Prior to Russell’s passing in 2014 he worked for Badminton Scotland and Scottish Disability Sport.

Russell had a huge passion for disability sport and embraced the inclusion model. The Trust was established on his passing to support all his passions and ensure through fundraising events the Trust could support athletes who have dreams and goals and help fulfil their ambitions.

The Trust thanks you for taking time to read their story and for all your support. You can watch the video of the climb below.
