Join the Edinburgh Kiltwalk on 15 September 2019 and help raise funds for Spartans Community Football Academy.
The academy works in North Edinburgh, an area of multiple deprivation where they hope to change lives through the power of sport.
The Academy say : “Your fundraising efforts will help us continue to change lives in North Edinburgh. Many of the children and young people in our neighbourhood face significant disadvantage. We operate in one of the most deprived areas of Scotland where households often score poorly in education, family income, crime and health indicators. We work with our local community to develop and deliver innovative programmes that help to tackle disadvantage and change lives for the better in North Edinburgh. Do have a look at our 10 year video to see how our programmes in youth work, physical activity and education have supported our local community over the past 10 years.”
Kiltwalkers can walk as individuals, with friends or in a team. There are three different distances to choose from – so there’s something to suit all ages and abilities. Take on the “Mighty Stride” of 24 miles, the “Big Stroll” of 15.5 miles or the “Wee Wander” of 5 miles. With the Hunter Foundation boosting every walker’s fundraising total by 40% it’s a fantastic opportunity to raise funds.
If you would like to “put your best foot forward” for The Academy and be part of the Spartans Family on the day, simply register for the 2019 Edinburgh Kiltwalk and select Spartans Community Football Academy as your charity.
