Kiltwalk Dundee – Walk With Us “Because We Care”

The countdown is on for Kiltwalk Dundee, taking place on Sunday 17 August and we’re thrilled to have 16 incredible walkers already signed up to support Dundee Carers Centre!

This year, you can choose between:

  • The Wee Wander – a scenic 5.5-mile route, perfect for families and casual walkers
  • The Mighty Stride – a more challenging 21.5-mile trek for those ready to go the distance!

Whichever route you choose, every step you take will help raise public awareness and build capacity to meet the growing need for support for unpaid carers and disabled people in Dundee—the very heart of our campaign: “Because We Care.”

Why We Walk

One of our amazing walkers, Pauline, shared her story and motivation for taking part:

“I’m currently walking at least 10k steps per day and I’m up to 5 miles trying to do it twice a week. I’ve just bought new trainers so trying to take it easy until they settle down. I’m doing this walk for Dundee Carers as I look after mum & dad who is 90 next year. Mum has dementia and I’m going to need help and advice in the future. I’m also doing it for myself as walking really helps to destress when times are difficult.”

Pauline’s story is just one example of the many carers in our community who walk not only for others—but for themselves too.
