On Sunday 13th September I'll be joining colleagues and volunteers taking part in Edinburgh Kiltwalk to raise vital funds for people living with and affected by HIV and Hepatitis C across Edinburgh and the Lothians. It'll be great fun but I'm mainly doing to get a practical job done - raising funds!

For almost 40 years we have provided practical, trusted support when health, poverty, isolation or family pressures make life harder.

We support more than 200 adults, parents, children and young people and demand is greater than our capacity. Funding is more of a challenge than ever and we need your backing!

£10 could help us stay in touch with someone who feels isolated.

£25 could help provide practical support for someone managing health, poverty or family pressures.

£50 could help someone get to essential care, support or community connections.
