Annie's fundraiser for Gairloch Aid & Mobility Support

Annie Warren is raising money for Gairloch Aid & Mobility Support
“Great Wilderness Challenge”

on 15 August 2026

Gairloch Aid & Mobility Support SCIO (GAMS) is a charity whose aim is to support people with limited mobility & seniors in the Gairloch, Poolewe and Aultbea area. It is entirely run by volunteers (except accounting). Set up as a project of Gairloch and Loch Ewe Action Forum in March 2015, GAMS became a charity in its own right in December 2016. We work in different fields: • Improving physical and mental wellbeing through provision of Social Outings, Cross Generation Events and a Fall Prevention Class. • Offering loans of mobility and daily living aids enabling people to remain in their own home for longer and to return home earlier, having been in hospital. • Managing a disabled accessible Community Minibus. • Compiling a Directory of Services in the Gairloch & Loch Ewe Area which offers information about support and local facilities.

Story

As with many years before, I am raising funds for Gairloch Aid & Mobility Support (GAMS). Joining their outings and Cross Generation Events has been and is a life line for me. They also provide me with aids whenever I need them.

I had a fall at the Ceilidh after the Great Wilderness Challenge in 2015 and broke my hip. Unfortunately the surgery didn't go to plan, and I had several dislocations and infections afterwards.

Regardless of my physical limitations, I still love walking. I will do the 1.4 miles in the Great Wilderness Challenge (GWC) on the 15th of August 2026.

Please sponsor me so that I can support GAMS. As a small charity they need the funds from the GWC to continue their good work. Please note that they are completely run by volunteers. Every penny you give goes directly towards the seniors. Thank you.
