Salvesen Mindroom Centre – Anniversary Charity Run

Last year I became a Trustee of The Salvesen Mindroom Centre (‘SMC’), a charity which supports children and young people living with learning difficulties.

As you can imagine, the pandemic has created significant challenges for them and their families, and consequently even more demand for the charity’s resources. SMC turned 21 in April this year, so I decided to do a personal 21 mile run to raise funds to help support our families at this challenging time. Fortunately, the day I chose – 16 April 2021 – was warm and sunny with a gentle breeze, and I was able to see sunbathers enjoying the sunshine on Portobello beach and Leith Links.

People were very generous, including the congregation at MUC, and I managed to raise £14265. So, a massive THANK YOU to all of you who supported me.

Other colleagues at SMC participated in the fundraising also, and together we have raised £31328, well on our way to our £42000 goal. This will make a huge difference to all the young people the charity is able to help at this challenging time, and our grateful thanks on behalf of them to all our supporters.
