On Sunday the 15th September I will be putting on my yellow tartan tutu and walking 20 miles around Edinburgh to raise money for Vintage Vibes and their partner organisation Lifecare.

I am not a distance walker by all means so this is a real challenge for me!

Vintage Vibes is an award winning project tackling isolation and loneliness among the over 60s (called VIPs!) in Edinburgh through the creation of long lasting one to one friendships offering support and companionships to lonely VIPs with the aim of making people more socially connected.

I have recently completed all my training and am looking forward to meeting my VIP match shortly.

You can read more about Vintage Vibes great work and sign up to become a volunteer at https://vintagevibes.org.uk/

Any donation you are able to give would be really appreciated by both me and Vintage Vibes and allow them to continue the great work that they are doing.

Thank you
