Story

On Saturday 28th August we plan to walk to every school in Edinburgh!

Nine separate teams will leave at 2pm from locations around the city, following pre-planned routes. By around 5.30pm, we'll have visited every school in Edinburgh!  

As part of the event, es-team Leader, Angus Moyes, will also be running round the whole city of Edinburgh - approximately 33 miles!

18 months on from Covid halting SU schools ministry, this is an opportunity to highlight our continued desire to see a Christian witness in every school in Edinburgh.   

It is also an opportunity to raise support for this work to continue and to grow as we look to resume our work in schools.

Pre-Covid, we had contact with 70 schools around the city, including 61 with SU Groups and 22 with input to the RME curriculum such as Bible Alive and Christmas and Easter presentations.  We also run a programme of discipleship and training events for senior pupils, and various out-of-school events and residentials.

Our vision is to see every child and young person exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus.  

We would love if you would contribute to helping us achieve that vision by donating and by spreading the word to others.

If you would like to join us by taking part in the walk, please go to http://suscotland.org.uk/surroundthecity for more information and to sign up to join us.
