Mhairi and the Meghans, fundraising for Refuweegee

Raising money for Refuweegee

Glasgow Kiltwalk 2026 · 25 April 2026 to 26 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Refuweegee was set up in December 2015 to provide a warm welcome to forcibly displaced people arriving in Glasgow. As a result of the amazing response from people in Glasgow and beyond, we have provided over 5000 community-built, personal welcome packs to people all over Glasgow and across Scotland.

Story

We’re taking on the Glasgow Kiltwalk Mighty Stride (23 miles!) on 25 April 2026, and we’re raising funds for one of Glasgow’s best charities: Refuweegee 💙

Refuweegee supports people who’ve been forced to flee their homes and are arriving in Scotland to start again. They provide welcome packs filled with essentials (toiletries, food basics, practical items) — and just as importantly, they help people feel safe, seen, and welcomed.

They also share thousands of handwritten welcome letters from people across Scotland. It’s simple, but powerful: a reminder that someone’s not alone when everything’s changed.

And right now, this matters more than ever. Too many people arriving after unimaginable upheaval are met with suspicion instead of support. Refuweegee is about choosing kindness, dignity, and community.

They say it best: "We’re all fae somewhere".

I’m walking with my sister Meghan, and my pal, also Meghan — which means our team name basically had to be Mhairi and the Meghans 🤣

If you can spare anything, we’d be so grateful. Every donation helps Refuweegee keep doing what they do best: making sure people arriving in Scotland get a proper welcome.

Thank you for backing us!
