Newport Brownies Sponsored Walk for The Uphill Trust
Raising for The Uphill Trust (Scotland)
Event date:
In 2014, Newport Brownies, accompanied by a crowd of friends, families and the Newport Church Sunday Club, did a sponsored walk across the Tay Bridge to raise funds to buy the very first rainwater harvesting tank for Uphill Junior School in western Uganda.
That walk was so successful that £1000 was raised. This was the starting point for the formation of a fully registered Scottish charity, called The Uphill Trust, dedicated to continuing to support the school.
In celebration of this connection to Uphill Junior School and the Uphill Trust’s 10th anniversary, the current Newport Brownies would like to hold their own second sponsored walk across the Tay Bridge on the evening of 10th June 2025.
All funds raised will go to buying another rainwater harvesting tank for the school to replace the original one which has sprung a bad leak and is no longer fit for purpose.
Your support is hugely appreciated.
Thank you.

About us
The Uphill Trust (Scotland)
Charity number: SC045385 
The Uphill Trust supports grass roots education in rural western Uganda: Uphill Junior School, a privately-owned primary school with kindergarten, was founded by a Ugandan teacher in February 2011 and provides educational opportunities for girls, orphans and children from poor rural families.
We are helping the school to build well equipped school buildings, maintain a motivated and well-qualified teaching staff, provide clean water and good sanitation, and support the education of girls and orphans.
When funding is available we also support projects that benefit the wider community, such as provision of mosquito nets, solar lanterns and reading glasses for the community elders.
The Uphill Trust is a zero-overheads charity - 100% of the money you donate is used to support Uphill Junior School.
Education is power!
