Mary-Ann's fundraiser for Gairloch Aid & Mobility Support

Mary-Ann Cross 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

9 years ago I had a stroke which left me paralised on the left side. I didn't give up. With the help of my Physiotherapist and a strict exercise regime, I managed to get on my feet again. I am still getting very tired when I am doing too much.

I walked 1.4 miles for GAMS last year and will target 2.8 miles this year. This will be a real challenge for me.

GAMS provided me with some aids in the beginning. I joined the Fall Prevention Class and Cross Generation Events for a while and still attend outings. The photo was taken at last year's Pre-Christmas outing.

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.
