Smart Works Scotland is participating in Edinburgh Kiltwalk, to raise funds for our vital interview dressing and coaching service, so we can help more women to get a job and move forward with their lives. Women like Beya, who was helped by Smart Works Scotland into employment after many years caring for her father and seriously ill son:

“My appointment at Smart Works was an unforgettable experience...The way I was treated made me feel valued and empowered. Smart Works and its amazing volunteers has remained a crucial part of my journey. Their belief in me before I could believe in myself changed my life.”

Beya, Smart Works Scotland Client Champion

At Smart Works we know we achieve more together, and the journey is easier with someone by your side. So why not buddy up with a pal to take on the Kiltwalk as a pair, for Smart Works Scotland?  You can take on the Big Stroll together to clock up 22 miles (11 miles each).

The two of you can share a fundraising page and both circulate it to your network, to double up on your fundraising too.  And if you ask your employer to match what you raise, you really super charge your impact for our charity.

And if you want to challenge yourself to take on the 20-mile Mighty Stride, you won’t be alone – we will be there cheering you on!

Thanks for supporting Smart Works Scotland, so we can give more women the help they need to get the job and change their lives.

There are 3 routes and distances, all leading to the finish line at Murrayfield:

The Mighty Stride: 20 miles (£20 registration fee)

The Big Stroll: 11 miles (£20 registration fee)

The Wee Wander: 5 miles (Adults £13, Children £7)

We look forward to seeing you on the 14^thSeptember, but if you can’t make it on that date, don’t worry – Smart Works Scotland will have a Spring fundraiser that you can take part in – details to follow, please follow our socials to be the first to hear when we announce our 2026 challenge.
