The First Minister Steps Up at the Glasgow Kiltwalk

In the last edition of SpeakOut, we let you know about some of the fundraising we are doing this year, including the 2022 Glasgow Kiltwalk which took place on Sunday 24th April.

We had over 120 people sign up to take part, and one of them was the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon! The day kicked off with a meeting between some members of our National Representative Body (NRB) and The First Minister. Our NRB members spent time chatting with the First Minster and thanked her for her continued commitment to supporting Care Experienced people. After the meeting, a big group of walkers including fundraisers, staff, members and our very own Buddy the Bear set off in the hot sun for the three mile ‘wee wander’ in Balloch. At the same time, our Big Strollers and Mighty Striders set off for their 13 and 23 mile journeys from Glasgow. We all met and spent the afternoon at the finish line, where we got some refreshments and loads of amazing photos in the sun – you can check out the whole album on our Facebook page. Thanks to everyone’s amazing efforts and the generosity of the Hunter Foundation, we have raised a total of £23,684 to help support Care Experienced people.
