From Wednesday 20th to Sunday 24th of September I am walking 99km (probs in the rain!) along the Forth & Clyde and Union Canal to raise money for Carr Gomm.

Carr Gomm is a community development and social care charity working to reduce isolation and loneliness in communities in Scotland that I have been working for over the last six months.

Throughout this time, I have been lucky enough to see first hand the impact that our community groups like Craigmillar Community Grows & the Midlothian Music Group have on the people we support across Scotland.

I'm fundraising as part of our #BigCarrGommChallenge to raise £25,000 to keep our community projects going, so that the people we support continue to have access to fun, safe spaces to make connections and build up their self-confidence and skills.

It's a cliché but every donation counts and helps us to run our community groups. Please support me in my fundraising challenge and contribute whatever you can! <3
