get2gether takes on the Kiltwalk!

We’re lacing up our walking shoes for the second time because get2gether is taking on the Edinburgh Kiltwalk 2025! We already have 17 amazing members, staff, and supporters signed up and ready to take on the challenge.

This year, our team will join thousands of others across the city for the Wee Wander, a 5-mile walk to raise money for charity. But for our walkers, it’s about so much more than just putting one foot in front of the other.

“Before I joined get2gether, I felt isolated and like I didn’t really have a life. Since becoming a part of the get2gether community, I’ve gained confidence, made amazing friends, and now my life feels full. That’s why the money I raise means so much to me because I know it will help change other people’s lives too.”George, get2gether member

“Completing the Kiltwalk for the second time is on my bucket list this year, and I’m determined to reach that goal! get2gether has supported me to build healthy relationships, challenge myself, and has always been a place where I feel respected and seen. I am walking again this year to make sure others can experience that as well”- Mairi, get2gether member and former Ambassador
