Simon Howie has created Side Burns Night to spark smiles, conversation, and vital support for SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health). Throughout January, we’re inviting everyone to grow a bold pair of sideburns—or stick some on—and raise funds and awareness for mental health across Scotland. It’s a fun, light-hearted challenge with a serious purpose: encouraging people to talk, to get involved, and to support the life-changing work SAMH does every day. With your help, we hope to build an army of fundraisers who will proudly toast Burns Night with their sideburns on full display, knowing they’ve helped make a meaningful difference to a cause that matters to us all.
