Rachel's fundraiser for Anderson's

Rachel Baird is raising money for Anderson's

AJ Bell Great Scottish Run Half Marathon 2025 · 5 October 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

Anderson’s Care Home has deep roots in the community. It operates as a charitable trust founded by General Anderson’s legacy in 1832 with a mission to provide exceptional care for residents. The existing lifts in the old, listed building were installed many years ago but their capacities were limited by the internal design of the building. They are now too small for efficient operation of a modern Care Home and comfort of residents. The new Lift will be constructed at the rear of the main building and has been designed to take several passengers and equipment. It will make a big difference to the daily lives of residents and staff. This is our second Lift Appeal. In 2019 we managed to raise £100,000. Unfortunately, Covid-19 brought all plans to a halt. Now that we are able to start again, we find that prices have risen dramatically and we need to fundraise a further £70,000. Any help you can give us will be greatly appreciated.

Story

Hey there!

Thanks for stopping by my JustGiving page.

I'm super excited to share that I’ll be taking part in the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run Half Marathon on October 5, 2025—all in support of a fantastic cause: Anderson’s.

Anderson’s Care Home is operated by a charitable trust, The General Anderson Trust, and is one of the longest-standing care homes in Scotland—providing care to the elderly for over 190 years. Anderson’s is known for its strong reputation and close ties with the local community. Residents receive the highest standard of care in a warm, welcoming environment, supported by a dedicated and compassionate team.

I had the opportunity to do a placement at Anderson’s, and i saw first-hand the care, compassion, and commitment that goes into making it such a special place. It has inspired me to give something back by raising funds to support their ongoing work.

While Anderson’s is not dependent on donations, every contribution helps enhance the services and environment they provide, allowing them to go above and beyond for their residents.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and totally secure. Best of all, your donation goes directly to Anderson’s, making it the most efficient way to support them.

I’m aiming to raise £200 for this amazing cause, and I’d be so grateful for any support you can give—big or small.

Thanks again for your support 💙
