Kiltwalk is the biggest mass participation event in Scotland – and with refreshing rest stops and enthusiastic ‘Kiltie’ volunteers cheering you on along the route, you’re bound to receive a warm Scottish welcome.

Whether you get your kilt on in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee or Edinburgh, the Kiltwalk is a fun and affordable way to raise vital funds for Dementia UK.
Every penny you raise from your event will help our dementia specialist Admiral Nurses provide a lifeline to more families facing dementia – and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Fundraising ideas
Organising another fundraising activity alongside your main challenge will help you smash your goal. Here are some ideas:
Your fundraising welcome pack
Once you’ve signed up for your challenge, we’ll send you a fundraising welcome pack that’s full of advice on how to meet – and beat – your target.
JustGiving
Setting up a JustGiving page is a great way to fundraise online. Share your link with family, friends and colleagues, and watch the donations roll in.
You can use JustGiving to explain why you’re taking on your challenge for Dementia UK, keep track of how much you’ve raised, and even share your training progress using Strava so your supporters can see how well you’re doing. The more you update and share your JustGiving page, the more donations you’ll receive. Set up a JustGiving page.
Gift Aid
If your supporters are UK taxpayers and their donation is voluntary (not proceeds of a sale), we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated – at no extra cost to them. Make sure they fill in the Gift Aid form in your fundraising pack or tick the correct boxes if they’re donating online.
Sending in your donations
If you’re fundraising through JustGiving, the donations will automatically come to us. If you’ve got cash to pay in, you can do this online, by phone, by bank transfer or by post.

Clare who took part in the Glasgow Kiltwalk 2023Working in the health sector in home care, I seen so many people with dementia and the effects it has not only for the individual but also the families.The Kiltwalk was a challenge for myself and my friend Sarah. I think the parts that stand out are meeting strangers and hearing the stories about why they are doing it. When you start to struggle everyone spurs you on and gives you the motivation to keep going.
