The Kiltwalk is Back

NEWS & EVENTS The Kiltwalk is back!

After 2 years of virtual Kiltwalks, the in-person Kiltwalks are back! Throughout 2022 we are asking corporate partners, fundraisers and the people of Scotland to join us in #SteppingUp for Care Experienced people by taking part in Kiltwalk to help raise money to support the work we do with you – our members. We know that some of you enjoy taking part in the Kiltwalk as it’s an opportunity to get out and about and connect with other members and WC?S staff, so here’s some information about the Kiltwalk, what it is and how to take part if you’re interested.

The Kiltwalk is a unique Scottish charity event, which brings together walkers of all ages and abilities for an unforgettable fun day. People take part in a sponsored walk to raise money for a charity of their choice. There are two walks coming up soon that we are taking part in – the

Glasgow Kiltwalk on Sunday 24th April and the Aberdeen Kiltwalk on

Sunday 29th May. People sign up to take part and can walk between 3 – 26 miles depending on what distance and location they choose.

As a member, we’ll pay the signup fee for you, so you’re more than welcome to lace up your comfiest trainers and come along, all you have to do is find some people to sponsor you, although this is something we can also help you with. On the day of your chosen Kiltwalk you’ll get the chance to meet other members, Who Cares? Scotland staff and volunteers and anyone else who is taking part. You’ll get some free food to keep you energised so you can focus on having fun. The money you raise will ensure Who Cares? Scotland can keep doing the work we do. A bonus is that all

money raised at the Kiltwalk is topped up 50% by the Hunter Foundation! If you want to take part in the Kiltwalk you can sign up on our website –

If walking the Kiltwalk doesn’t sound like it’s for you then no problem, we have other ways you can get involved. As well as well as walkers, Who Cares? Scotland is also looking for Step Up champions who are volunteers who can highlight and share the fundraising pages of our Care Experienced walkers who might not have a huge network to show them support or by showing up to a Kiltwalk to participate in a cheering section for all Who Cares? Scotland walkers.

It’s time to walk the walk. It’s time for Scotland to step up together for Care Experienced people.
