WithYou on the Kiltwalk

Jo And Ivo At The Finish Line

This weekend, some of our WithYou team took part in the Kiltwalk, Scotland’s largest mass participation walking event.

Staff, their family members and their dogs covered a combined 214 miles across the west of Scotland, and raised more than £4,100 for our charity.

Louise Stewart, director of operations at WithYou in Scotland, walked with her daughter Orla.

She says: “Even the rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of our incredible WithYou walkers!

“I am so proud of everyone who donned some tartan and took part in the Kiltwalk to raise funds for our services in Scotland.”

The Hunter Foundation, founded by philanthropist Sir Tom Hunter, underwrites Kiltwalk, ensuring that all money raised by walkers goes to the charities of their choice, plus gift aid.

Sir Tom, who led the walkers on both days, said: “I believe the magic of Kiltwalk is quite simple: in every community across Scotland, there are people who need a wee hand up, and there are good folks like you who get up in the morning and help them.

All the Kiltwalk does is simply connect you. There isn’t a prouder Scotsman on the planet than me this morning.
