Why Run for Age Scotland?

Many older people in Scotland are lonely, are financially insecure, live in inadequate housing and in fuel poverty. They have poor access to the health and social care support they need and don’t feel valued by society. Take part in the 2026 Scottish Half and fundraise for Age Scotland to help us change this!
