We are an affiliated charity for the Chris Hoy Edinburgh Half Marathon, which is taking place on Sunday 18 April 2010. We need eager volunteers to run for us - please register today! Your place is free if you run for us, and in return we ask you to aim to raise a minimum of £200 in sponsorship. Find out more.

Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh organised a green fashion event and donated the proceeds to us. £320 was raised in one night.

The Raj Restaurant in Edinburgh allowed us to organise a fundraising dinner in their restaurant with 50% of proceeds going towards our climate change campaigns. We raised over £600.
