Kiltwalk 2024

Kiltwalk 2024

Posted 17th September 2024

Our most recent fundraising event, the Edinburgh Kiltwalk, was a standout event in our 2024 fundraising calendar and proved to be a huge success, thanks to the incredible support and dedication of participants and sponsors alike.

Held on Sunday 15th September, the Kiltwalk saw 36 enthusiastic walkers don their kilts and hit the streets, all in the name of raising funds for the provision of white goods for our young people moving into their first home. The event raised over £3500 which will go directly towards purchasing white goods and we would like to thank everyone who contributed to this great achievement.

It was a great opportunity for young people, staff, and trustees to catch up whilst taking in the sights of glorious Edinburgh and from early morning until the late afternoon, the spirit of camaraderie amongst our community was amazing. So much so, that young people suggested doing all four Kiltwalks next year!

Sean, a young person from a House Project in Scotland said;

"I found the walk fun but a little difficult cause my toe started playing up and both my feet started to really hurt. Overall it was worth it cause it was a good day raising money for the charity I love" 

As we look back on the success of the Kiltwalk, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and we extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated and supported the event.

For those who missed the event, we encourage you to stay connected with us through our social media, website and newsletter for updates on future events and ways to get involved.

Once again, thank you for your support. Together, we are making strides towards enabling young people to live connected and fulfilling lives.

Celebrating Success at the Frontline Awards

In May, we were proud to attend the Frontline Awards to celebrate Coventry City Council’s Pathways service winning the Multi-Agency Partnership of the Year award. Funded by the Rayne Foundation, the Pathways programme brings together a number of organisations, including NHP, Coram Voice and The Rees Foundation, working closely alongside the Throughcare Service, Coventry House Project and Lifelong Links. Together, the partnership supports young people leaving care to develop skills, build positive relationships, and focus on their emotional health and wellbeing. Three cohorts of young people from Coventry have now go through the Pathways Programme. Seeing the partnership recognised nationally was a fantastic moment and a powerful reflection of the impact collaborative working can have in supporting care-experienced young people.

Aspirational Awards Update

In May, the Aspirational Awards panel awarded just over £15,000 to 19 young people across our LHPs. It was inspiring to see such a wide range of ideas, goals and determination reflected in the applications, and a privilege to support more young people as they take their next steps forward. Funding in Round 9 supported training + graduate employment scheme, equipment for a baking business and support for other businesses, sports sessions, music lessons, lifeguard course, and day trips. We have also recently completed a 3 year review of our Aspirational Awards and the impact they’ve had. Over the past 3 years, we’ve awarded over £147,000 to 138 young people (not including figures from our most recent round in May). If you would like to find out more about how to support the Aspirational Awards please get in touch.
