Every life has a story. Every relationship has a story. And every story deserves to be told. Stories are what connect us. They’re how we share our experiences, celebrate the people we love, remember those we’ve lost and pass memories from one generation to the next. Some stories make us laugh until our sides hurt....
There’s a lovely moment that can happen when somebody says, “Do you remember when…?” You think you know the story. You’ve heard it at every family gathering for years. Then somebody at the other end of the table says, “Aye, but what you don’t know is…” and suddenly you’re hearing something new about someone you...

Some of life’s most important moments bring us together in joy. Others bring us together because we need one another more than ever. A wedding. A farewell. The arrival of a child. A moment to remember someone we love. At The Fuze Foundation, we believe these moments deserve care, kindness and a ceremony that reflects...
I don’t know about you, but over the last week or so, I’ve really noticed the change. The evenings are suddenly darker.

Tuesday doesn’t always get much attention. It hasn’t got Friday’s excitement or Sunday’s permission to stay in your pyjamas. It’s usually a getting-on-with-things sort of day. But here at The Fuze Foundation, we think an ordinary Tuesday is a perfectly good day to make something lovely happen. No grand plans required. No fundraising target. You...

Nearly 200 ceremonies later, her love of human connection remains at the heart of everything she does. Based in Biggar with her rescue greyhound, Lizzie Longlegs, Lucy shares a little of her wonderfully...

On Tuesday 22nd September, we were delighted to meet with Suzie from Alzheimer Scotland and Heather and Heilidh from Beatson Cancer Charity to present our latest quarterly donations. Fuze celebrants Marie and Kerry joined us for the cheque...
Who married, where they celebrated and how Scotland said I do Scotland said “I do” a little more often in 2025. The latest National Records of Scotland figures show 27,191 marriages, 236 more than in 2024. The headline is encouraging, but the detail tells a much richer story: couples are marrying later, Scotland continues to...
There was something quite extraordinary about looking around the SEC and seeing more than 1,200 people gathered in one room, all ready to move, stretch and breathe together for the same important cause. On Sunday 13th September, Team Fuze joined Yellow Yogis, a huge community yoga event raising funds for the Beatson Cancer Charity Wellbeing...
