Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am lacing up and taking part in this year’s Glasgow Kiltwalk on the 26th April to help raise funds for MCR Pathways. 🙌.

MCR Pathways is a Scottish charity dedicated to helping young people reach their full potential no matter their background. Many care-experienced and disadvantaged young people experience significant barriers before they even begin their working lives. Challenges like poverty, family hardship, or the care system creates overwhelming barriers often leading to a lifetime of struggle. An unfair start should not determine the entire trajectory of a young persons future yet for many, breaking free from that cycle can be challenging. With the support of dedicated trusted mentors and the power of connection, MCR Pathways helps guide and empower young people to believe in their full potential and encourage them to explore opportunities they may never have imagined as possible.

Over the past year, I've had the privilege of building an authentic and trusting relationship with my mentee and have witnessed first hand the positive difference that a weekly, reliable connection can make. Throughout this journey, I have seen my mentee grow in confidence, improve their attendance and show a stronger engagement in their learning, supporting them as they prepare to think about their next steps after school. Being part of this has shown me the importance of simply showing up and the real impact that a consistent, caring relationship can have on young people.

All funds raised will help MCR Pathways expand its reach and empower more young people across Scotland. Any donations will also help support the recruitment, training and safeguarding of thousands of volunteer mentors across the country. Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean a great deal and be truly appreciated. 💪
