Boycott Your Bed: Hampden Park on 03/10/2025

This October, a team of Scottish Friendly staff will be sleeping outside at Hampden Park for one night as part of Boycott Your Bed—a powerful event in support of Action for Children. Why? Because every child deserves a safe place to sleep, food, warmth, the chance to grow and learn, and the love and support to cope with life’s challenges. But too many children don’t have these essentials.

Team members - Stephen McGee, Christine Manson, Lucy Crossley, Nicola Maxwell, Catherine Noble, Ryan Watson, Heather McRoberts, Zoie Begg, Mhairi Boyle, Andy Harrison, Morgan MacDonald, Karen Black, Kieron Munro, Adam MacDonald, Katie Walker

Great Scottish Run: Glasgow 05/10/2025

This October, members of the Scottish Friendly team will be taking on the Great Scottish Run 10k in Glasgow to raise funds for Action for Children. This iconic race winds through the heart of Glasgow, and we’re proud to be lacing up our trainers to support vulnerable children across the UK. Every step we take is powered by your support—and every donation helps Action for Children continue their vital work.

Team members - Lewis Proudfoot, Rebecca Creamer, Sumith Sam, Chantelle Adams, Kyle West, Stephen Miller, Paul Curran, Alexander Anderson, Stuart Gilmour
