The Eric Liddell Community is a local care charity and Community Hub. We are on a mission to bring people together in their local community to improve their health and wellbeing and have a positive impact on their lives. Our vision is to live in a community where no one is lonely or isolated.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Queensferry Crossing seemed like a good chance to have a family event and raise some money for the Eric Liddell Centre which I joined  2 years ago. I knew of its work in Dementia Day Care services and the connection to Eric Liddell and his work in China. That seemed a good fit for me! Since then I discovered that it also encourages volunteers to befriend Dementia sufferers and their carers, runs a community Café, a new foot care service (Caring Soles!) and hosts many activities for adults and children in the building. It really deserves our support as an inspiring community charity.

We won't be running over the bridge but I will be taking my  mum - she feels a particular connection to the event as my great grandmother sailed down the Forth for the opening of the Rail Bridge to celebrate her engagement in 1891. If anyone wants to guess my total number of steps for the crossing I will donate a small prize to the winner.
