Murray's Initiative Does the 2026 Kiltwalk!
Raising for Murray's Initiative
Event dates: –
We are raising funds from the Glasgow Kiltwalk this year to allow us to continue some services for our clients who attend our various support groups.
A vital service we provide is a pantry for clients who are experiencing food poverty. Funds raised will allow us to keep our pantry stocked with food and toiletries so clients can access it when it is needed most.
Some other activities we are hoping to fund include yoga, reiki, arts and crafts, walking group, cycling, and cooking on a budget. These activities have proved to be very popular in the past and the clients gain a lot from the activities. Clients report that engaging in these types of activities help to reduce the isolation they can often experience and to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
Unfortunately these activities have been restricted due to reductions in our funding so we would be grateful if you could donate to ensure they continue!
