There is something lovely about bringing people together to celebrate what we can achieve as a community. 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.

Every once in a while, it also gives me the chance to let someone else share in the joy that I am privileged to experience regularly. In June, my good friend...
When we hear the words “support a charity”, our thoughts often immediately turn to money. Making a donation. Sponsoring someone. Putting a few pounds into a collection tin. And, of course, financial support is incredibly important. For small charities in particular, every donation can help keep services running, projects moving and support reaching the people...
Every charity begins in the same way. Not with funding. Not with an office. Not with a strategy. It begins with someone noticing that something could be better. Someone who saw a gap, recognised a need, or experienced a challenge first-hand and decided they couldn’t simply walk past it. They chose to do something. That...
