Fundraising for Walking Scotland helps to create a happier, healthier and greener Scotland.

Your support means we can deliver more projects and reach more people. With your help we can:

Connect with more communities to reduce barriers to walking and wheeling.

Improve more public spaces and places so they are accessible and safe to walk and wheel.

Shout about the physical, social and mental health benefits of walking and wheeling.

Whether you’re taking on a personal challenge, organising a local event or celebrating a special occasion, every step you take counts.

No matter how big or small your idea, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Looking for fundraising inspiration?

Get creative. Get active. Get your community involved.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Take on a walking or wheeling challenge.
    You could sign up to one that already takes place, like the Kiltwalk or you could create your own.
  • Host a bake sale, quiz night or garden party.
    You could encourage those taking part to walk to the event too.
  • Celebrate your birthday or special occasion with donations.
    Instead of cards or presents you could ask friends and family to support Walking Scotland with a donation.
  • Plan a virtual walk-a-thon.
    If you have friends, colleagues and family living across the country, you might want to go on a walk together by taking part in a virtual walk-a-thon.

Get moving with the Step Count Challenge!

Whether you’re walking with friends, family, your local community, colleagues or classmates, the Step Count Challenge is a great way to boost your activity, have fun, and support Walking Scotland.

Rally your team of 5 for our autumn or spring challenges or organise your own Step Count Challenge. Turn your steps into something even more powerful by fundraising along the way.

Ask your workplace about donation matching to double your impact. It’s a simple way to make every step count even more!
