This year, the Legal & Secretariat team are lacing up our trainers and taking on Stride by the Clyde, all in support of the brilliant mental health charities Mind and SAMH. And because we like to keep things interesting… we’ve gone for not one, but two routes:

Stride by the Clyde – Bothwell Street to Dumbarton Castle (16 miles)

Stride by the Tyne – Gosforth to Tynemouth (14 miles!)

What started as a simple “anyone taking part?” has quickly turned into a proper team effort, with colleagues across Legal & Secretariat stepping up for a cause that really matters to us. So far, our growing team of walkers includes:

Julie Klein

Andrew Barnes

Tom Bird

Joanne Shuffleton

Leanne Ferguson

Veronica McArthur

Colin Campbell

Lynsey Wilson

Jill Wishart

Roddy Garden

Caroline Orr

Nicola Alexander

(…and we’ve got a feeling that list might not stop there 👀)

This isn’t just about the miles (although every mile will definitely test us!); it’s about coming together, supporting each other, and raising money for two incredible charities doing vital work in mental health support.

Every donation big or small really does make a difference. And every step we take is a step towards better support for those who need it most.

Thanks so much for backing us 💙
