Street Fit Scotland delivers a Health, Fitness and Wellbeing programme for people affected by or experiencing homelessness.
ERN wanted to partner with Streetfit Scotland for a third year on our hugely popular LP Run event, but sadly 2020 has other ideas. The enthusiasm of Streetfit members at the last two events, where they have run in the races, served refreshments, and promoted their charity, has been the icing on the (always exceptionally good) cake. We're devastated that we can't do it all again this year.
The organising team of the LP Run recognise that that the impact of Covid-19 is particularly hard on people like those that Streetfit Scotland support. Their programme, normally based around group fitness activities, has been severely limited under lockdown, at a time when professional and peer support is needed more than ever. The charity adapted to the crisis by funding 1:1 counselling and tech support for members, and moved their group classes online. Most people in ERN will have tried such sessions by now too; it's not the same, but it has been a lifeline for some.
The LP Run cost £15 to enter last year, and there is no entry fee this year for the 10th LP Run in its virtual incarnation. We know that some have been hit harder than others by Covid-19, and we want everyone to know that they can join in free of charge, however if you are able to donate anything to this brilliant local charity then Streetfit would be incredibly grateful.
