Support Run 4 Change: Standing for Visibility, Inclusion, and Equality Across Grampian

Four Pillars is fighting every day for LGBT+ visibility, inclusion, and the right to live safely and openly in our communities. We are the only LGBT+ charity in Northeast Scotland, working on the frontline where thousands of people turn to us for support, solidarity, and a place to belong. The demand is growing, and the need is urgent.

In 2025 and 2026, our team will take on a series of endurance events across the UK to highlight the resilience of our community and to raise the funds needed to sustain our work. These challenges represent more than miles—they represent the barriers we push against and the future we are building.

* Safe Community Spaces: Ensuring LGBT+ individuals across Grampian have places where they are seen, respected, and supported.

* Visibility and Inclusion: Strengthening public understanding, reducing stigma, and promoting equality in workplaces, schools, and communities.
