Hi everyone!

Enrico and I are taking part in the Victorian Pool Crawl with Edinburgh Leisure on Monday 6th April 2026 - a huge challenge to raise money for a cause that means so much to us.

We’re fundraising for Active Communities, an Edinburgh Leisure programme that supports people across the city to stay active and maintain their physical and mental wellbeing. The programme helps reduce barriers to staying active - such as poverty, disability and social inequalities.

Enrico volunteers with the Ageing Well programme, supporting people living with dementia and older adults who want or need help accessing facilities and staying active.

I have also seen the impact through working with people experiencing homelessness. For many, being able to access these spaces offers vital physical activity, routine, and mental respite from the day-to-day challenges they face.

The challenge:

🏊 Swim up to 1km in each of Edinburgh’s 5 Victorian pools

🚶 Walk up to 16km between venues

Please help us support this incredible cause 💛

Any donation will help make physical and mental wellbeing accessible to everyone.

Thank you so much for your support!
