Story

Support the Carr Gomm Canal Challenge and Help Stomp Out Loneliness!

Loneliness and social isolation are severely detrimental to our health and increase the chance of developing longer-term health conditions such as depression, dementia, and heart disease. Unfortunately, millions of people in the UK experience loneliness throughout their lifetime.

By supporting the #BigCarrGommChallenge, you'll be helping us raise vital funds that directly support community projects across Scotland. These projects create safe spaces for the most vulnerable in our society, allowing them to meet new friends and feel a sense of belonging.

Our group will be walking, riding, or cycling from Carr Gomm Govan (Glasgow) to Carr Gomm SPACE (Edinburgh), covering 99km along the Forth & Clyde and Union Canal towpaths. Every penny donated goes to community projects such as Midlothian Music Group and Club Fun.

Your generous donation can make a significant impact! Simply visit our JustGiving page [insert link] and choose an amount that resonates with you. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
