We want everyone to come out of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) period stronger with a bigger sense of community spirit!

Scotland, Britain and the world is preparing to go into lock-down as we battle against the spread of Covid-19, millions of people are facing up to the reality of isolation, dreading the thought of not seeing loved ones, family, colleagues and friends on a daily basis, over what will hopefully be a short period of time. However, the reality is that social isolation and loneliness is a daily reality for many groups of vulnerable people of all ages living throughout Scotland, impacting on their mental health and well-being.

These people need our support now more than ever, whether they are a child socially isolated due to parental drug or alcohol use, an adult socially isolated because of a mental health issues like depression, stress or anxiety, or an older adult living with dementia in one of care homes, who because of Covid-19 can no longer see their loved ones and friends, but doesnt know why - We need to be there for them. Thats why we are asking you to take part in the Push up for CrossReach fundraiser #YouAreNotAlone

What is Push Up for CrossReach?

It is a push up challenge that increases daily, starting at any number of push ups on day one that you are comfortable with and increasing this by one each day Monday Thursday, by two on a Friday then having the weekend off before continuing on the Monday for a total of four weeks.

We want you to record every day of push ups and share on Social media saying Day 1 of Push up for CrossReach, we are in this together, #YouAreNotAlone

We want to make this challenge as accessible to everyone as possible so if a push up doesn't suit please feel free to adapt to something that does.

By posting on social media family and friends will see that you are safe and well, you can do this challenge with friends or colleagues to make it more fun, so tag them in your social media posts and encourage them to join you in this fundraiser.

We ask that you start of your own fundraising with a recommended donation of £5!
