Kiltwalk is Scotland’s favourite mass participation walking event where you can raise funds for any charity close to your heart. With four amazing locations and a variety of distances to choose from, there’s a Kiltwalk for everyone!
We all face financial concerns at the moment – Kiltwalk has reduced its entry fees, which means it has never been cheaper to participate in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, or Dundee to raise funds for Forces Children Scotland.
You can sign up for as little as £20 for the Mighty Stride and Big Stroll. Better still, it will cost only £12.50 (adults) and £6.50 (children) for the Wee Wander. As an added wee bonus, we will throw in a free charity t-shirt!
Simply sign-up on Kiltwalk’s website and select Forces Children Scotland – We will receive an email and get in touch asap!
You will help us reach over 12.5K children and young people from armed forces and veteran families across Scotland.
Go the extra mile to provide life-changing experiences in which children and young people can develop new skills, build confidence, and forge friendships through a sense of belonging, shared experiences, and collective purpose.
Help us work directly with children and young people to co-produce projects and services which help to better understand and overcome unique challenges when it comes to mental health and wellbeing, education and learning, and much more.
Make a difference to enable children and young people to co-produce training, resources, and campaigns that help educators, professionals and decision-makers better understand and meet their unique support needs.
Be part of a force for good providing financial support to over 30% more families facing financial crisis and helping young carers, students, and many other young people to dream big and pursue positive futures.
Any funds you raise through Kiltwalk 2023 will go to Forces Children Scotland, plus all eligible gift aid (up to 25% extra*). All of this is possible thanks to The Hunter Foundation and Kiltwalk sponsors.
Simply sign-up on Kiltwalk’s website and select Forces Children Scotland – We will receive an email and get in touch asap!
Get in touch with our Fundraising Team who will help you every step of the way – from getting you started on Just Giving to sending your free t-shirt and providing helpful tips to social media promotions and much more!
