We focus on the advancement of health, to raise awareness of Mental Health issues.

Story

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, and our #PassingPositivity campaign, we have organised a ‘Walk 4 Lionheart’:

  • Friday 19th May
  • 9.00am for a 9.30am start
  • Starting at Kilwinning Campus.

Adrian McCallum, Lionheart, was a professional wrestler (and an ex-student) who sadly took his own life on 19th June 2019.  

#PassingPositivity aims to raising awareness of mental health and all the help available!

This year we have teamed up with The Kris Boyd Charity to organise a sponsored walk from our Kilwinning Campus to Kilmarnock Campus in memory of Lionheart.

All money raised will be split between our 3 chosen charities:

  • The Kris Boyd Charity
  • Beautiful Inside and Out
  • Megans Space

The walk should take approximately 4 hours and we want to encourage everyone to get involved as much or as little as they can.

We have options for doing the full walk and only doing part of the walk so all abilities will be able to take part.

The first 200 sign up's will get a free Walk 4 Lionheart t-shirt.

Since its inception, Kris, his family, Trustees and the rest of the team have been overwhelmed with the support and generosity from all over the UK, particularly in Ayrshire and West of Scotland. Scottish football and the wider sporting community has given its full endorsement to what Kris is trying to achieve, many people have backed the Charity with their time, effort and donations. The foundations have been put down and we now look to keep growing. But we realise that with the ongoing challenges of Covid-19 this is going to be difficult. But we plan to tackle everything head on, expand and offer more services, whether its helping to raise Mental Health awareness and also with increase Partnerships and Relationships with other charities, as well as well as businesses and support groups. With your help and understanding, collectively, we can make it happen.
