Raising money for Sunflower Scotland

Edinburgh Kiltwalk 2023 · 17 September 2023 ·

Our mission is to help the most vulnerable people in Ukraine's frontline villages. Women, children, disabled and older people need our help more than anyone else. We buy food in Ukraine, rather than sending it from the UK. This way we support the local economy. We have a permanent team in Kharkiv, and we cover areas near the north-eastern front.

Story

Hi!

We're Karen, Sarah, Hilary & Caroline - the Howgate Sunflowers! This year we wanted to challenge ourselves by joining the Kiltwalk 'Mighty Stride' on 17th September - 21 miles through the beautiful streets of Edinburgh City, crossing into East Lothian.

More importantly we are hoping to raise money for Sunflower Scotland. They are a local Edinburgh charity who have gone to Ukraine to deliver essential services. They buy food and other supplies out there to support the Ukrainian local economy and then deliver these supplies and aid to the most vulnerable people in frontline villages across the country, within 0-30km from the frontline. These vulnerable people include women, children, the elderly and disabled. Read more about their work here.

We appreciate every donation you can make to help Sunflower Scotland's efforts and to give us a boost to complete the challenge! All donations are eligible for Gift Aid, topping the donation up by 25%.
