Young people and teachers from Bishopbriggs Academy are taking on the Big Stroll on Sunday 27 April 2025 at the Kiltwalk to raise money for Children’s Health Scotland – Scotland’s leading children’s health rights charity.
The young volunteers from the school who chose us as their Charity of the Year said:
We picked Children’s Health Scotland because it helps children all across Scotland know they have the right to the best possible health. The charity also makes sure children with health conditions lead conversations whenever possible and don’t speak for them. We want to make sure we can protect this charity just like they protect us and our health rights.
154 people have signed to take on the Big Stroll at the Kiltwalk to raise money for Children’s Health Scotland to help make sure the charity can continue to be there to support the right of every child to the best possible health. They will be walking 14 miles to help children and young people with health conditions in Scotland feel seen, heard and valued and the money they raise will help us to continue to be there for families and children who need us most.
Commenting on Kiltwalk signups, Rhianne Forrest, Officer for Children’s Health Scotland said:
We are really excited about the Kiltwalk this year and have never had 154 walkers so this is a first for us. It has been amazing getting to know the school and all the Health Rights Defenders and we’ll be there on the day to cheer them on. They told us that they picked us because we help them to know their voices in relation to their health, wellbeing and rights and that no one should disrespect your rights. It’s great to know that our powerful messages are landing in the right places and that and we are fostering a new generation of robust health rights advocates for the future.
