Our new beginning !!

An exciting new chapter is happening...The WALK WITH SCOTT family has now become a Foundation.

Although our aims are still to promote health and well-being in our areas,

we hope to hold fundraising events for The Foundation by the means of Walking, hosting Ceilidhs, dinner dances and coffee mornings, etc..., and then, in turn, 

   use the funds raised to help support local charities and causes. 

 SUCCESS !!

Our 1st project of the year to raise money to buy Memory Pods  for ALL Care Homes and Day Centres in East Lothian was a success with 5 REMPODS bought.

Along with the REMPODS we also supplied Twiddlemuffs to dementia sufferers in EAST LOTHIAN with thanks to donations from local knitters.

We are now moving onto our next communnity projects
