A Message from Debbie, Community Fundraiser
As we move through another fantastic summer, I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who continues to support Teens+. Whether you’ve taken part in an event, donated, shared our fundraising appeals, or simply helped spread the word, your support makes a real difference to the young people and families we work with.
It’s been wonderful to see so many people getting involved in our fundraising events this year already, and we still have plenty of exciting opportunities coming up. We hope you’ll continue to support us and perhaps even sign up for one of our future fundraising challenges!
Scottish Half Marathon 10K Success!🏃♀️🏁
A Determined Finish
Due to illness, Caitlin unfortunately had to withdraw from the Edinburgh Marathon Festival back in May. However, she wasn’t about to let all of her hard work, training, and the incredible support she received go to waste.
Earlier this month, Caitlin and Ellen took on the 10K at the Scottish Half Marathon, crossing the finish line and continuing their fundraising journey for Teens+.
We’re incredibly proud of their determination, resilience, and commitment. Thanks to the generosity of their supporters, they have now exceeded their fundraising target.
There’s still time to support their amazing achievement and help raise even more funds for Teens+.
Reaching New Heights with the Zipslide Challenge🪂
A huge congratulations and thank you to Anna, Anna, and Jenny, who recently took on the Zipslide Challenge at Strathclyde Park Loch.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of supporters, they successfully reached 100% of their fundraising target.
We’re so grateful to everyone who donated, shared fundraising posts, and cheered our brave fundraisers on. Every contribution helps us continue providing life-changing opportunities for the young people and families we support.
Want to help push them even further beyond their target?
