The Merry Miles Challenge

Make Every Merry Mile Count This Christmas

Pop on a Santa hat, add some tinsel, and take on the Merry Miles Challenge for Age Scotland this Christmas. Every year, so many older people across Scotland spend Christmas Day alone, but Age Scotland is there to provide friendship, connection and support to those who need it most.

Choose a distance that means something to you, perhaps your age, the age of a loved one, or a personal milestone, then walk it your way in steps, kilometres or miles. Every festive mile and every pound raised helps us bring companionship and support to older people during what can be the loneliest time of the year.

Why walk for Age Scotland?

Age Scotland is the Scottish charity for older people. Many older people in Scotland are lonely, are financially insecure, live in inadequate housing, and experience fuel poverty. They have poor access to the health and social care support they need and don’t feel valued by society.

By taking part in Merry Miles Challenge and fundraising for Age Scotland, you can help us provide vital support, advice and friendship to older people across Scotland. 💙

When you join Team Age Scotland, you'll also receive:

⭐An Age Scotland t-shirt*

💡Fundraising support, tips, and resources

📃A personalised certificate to celebrate your achievement

🎉Free Age Scotland tote bag when you hit your fundraising target 🎉
