Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We've set up this challenge to encourage our team at the University of Edinburgh Library & University Collections to step away from their computer screens and get some steps in for both their physical and mental health! We've set ourselves the initial ambitious target of walking/running the distance of the coastline of Scotland by Easter which was 6,160 miles and we smashed it by Good Friday! We've extended this to now include the islands which ups the total 11,602 miles by the end of lockdown which is scheduled for the 17th of May!

Covid-19 has had a massive impact on our daily lives and our mental health. In these challenging times, it's so important that people who are suffering with they mental health can get the support they need. £150 could help the SAMH Information Service provide phone and email support for people seeking support with their mental health. £200 could fund our work in preventing suicide by delivering intervention training, vital research and creating information. £250 could provide one-to-one support for children and young people who have been rejected from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
