You could help to raise raise much needed funds to improve the lives of women and vulnerable people in the world’s poorest communities.

All funds raised will receive a 50 per cent top up from The Hunter Foundation making every £1 you raise worth £1.50 to Feed the Minds.
In true Kiltwalk spirit, the event has been adapted so that anyone, anywhere can do anything to support Scottish charities in a fun way – just add a touch of tartan.
Feed the Minds helps people in the world’s poorest communities, bringing hope and lasting change through practical education.

Feed the Minds’ projects reaches women and vulnerable people who have been left behind; those who often missed out on school due to extreme poverty, conflict or discrimination.
Celia Maclean, the regional development co-ordinator in Scotland, said: “In the midst of a global pandemic, we need to remember we are part of a global community and continue to support people who are less fortunate than ourselves.
“We urgently need support to help women and vulnerable people in marginalised and poor rural communities to gain confidence, life-changing skills and a brighter future.
