Edinburgh Kilt Walk in aid of BLAST Boxing CIC

I’m the founder and director of BLAST Boxing CIC Company number: SC802686 and this year I'm doing the Kilt Walk to raise money for BLAST.

BLAST supports people to improve their mental and physical health through the sport of boxing. I also do this by connecting with people through my lived experience of mental health challenges to offer the communities we work with, a safe and welcoming space to engage. We work across Edinburgh with most of our work happening in North Edinburgh. All sessions are structured to encourage inclusion and fun to allow people to take part and build confidence.

In our communities, it's essential that financial barriers to health and wellbeing are as low as possible. At the moment BLAST offers three, free kids sessions every week, as well as low cost adults boxing, fun and fitness sessions.

The funds we raise will go directly to keeping these sessions free or low-cost with potential to add new activities to further improve the health of our communities.
