This Year I am taking part in Edrington Stride walking 30kms for 2 fantastic charities, The Marie Trust and Right There. These charities are helping to fight poverty and support families and individuals across Glasgow.

For every pound donated Edrington will triple matched meaning that £1 raised will become £4. So please donate as much as you can.

The Marie Trust, based in The Merchant City, has been responding to the complex and often challenging needs of people affected by homelessness, poverty, and social exclusion since 2009. The charity aims to prevent and alleviate homelessness, offering a holistic, trauma-informed approach for individuals who often face challenging and traumatic experiences, recognising that people need more than a roof over their heads to feel safe and secure.

For two centuries, Right There, based in Govan, has been rooted in communities, walking alongside people of all ages facing the toughest times in life. Today, children and adults are facing challenges like never before. The charity are dedicated in their movement to help prevent homelessness, one person at a time.
