The Edinburgh Kiltwalk
This September, we’re challenging our fantastic community to get involved in The Kiltwalk
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.

Get your workplace involved

Team wardrobe day
If your workplace offers you an annual charity volunteering day or quota of hours, come and spend time at Smart Works.

We offer bespoke team volunteering opportunities in our centres, supporting our service delivery and ensuring a positive experience for our clients. No day at Smart Works is the same, but volunteering often includes sorting incoming donations, merchandising and curating stock and helping us prepare for our famous Fashion Sales. We occasionally have opportunities to support client coaching or virtual sessions for our Network members – a community of past clients who have successfully secured employment.

We ask for a payment of £500 + VAT for group volunteering sessions. In return, we provide the unique opportunity for employees to work together, while making a tangible difference for our clients. It’s your chance to see the Smart Works service in action and help us support our clients to the best standard.
Take on a challenge as a team.
