LEAP’s Gillian Steel, the Youth Engagement Officer with YEP! Was nominated for the Community Champion Award for her outstanding work with young people as part of the Junior Climate Challenge Fund. Although Gillian didn’t receive the award, she was delighted to be invited along with LEAP Project Manager, Scott Duncan, to Glasgow City Chambers to take part in the award ceremony. Following a formal address by Frank McAveety, Glasgow City Council Leader, who thanked the award nominees, their projects and their communities for their commitment to climate change now and in the future, an outdoor marquee event was held in George Square for the public. Artists performing music and dance from around the world and climate challenge projects celebrated by showcasing their work. LEAP held a pledge afternoon encouraging participants to make a simple individual, greener lifestyle choice, such as washing clothes at a lower temperature, one that could make a difference when repeated on a large scale, and help to improve the environment and drive down carbon emissions.

For Finding Your Feet’s Millport Charity Fun’raiser The days are getting longer, and the weather’s getting warmer… sort of, which can only mean one thing - It’s almost time for the Finding Your Feet Millport Charity Fun’raiser! Following the enormous success of last year, when more than one hundred participants donned their cycling shorts and dusted off their helmets to take on a 10-mile sponsored family cycle around the island of Millport, the Glasgow based charity is looking to double its numbers at this year’s family event and is calling on families and groups to sign up now. Finding Your Feet was set up two years ago by Corinne Hutton, who was left a quadruple amputee after losing her hands and feet to septicaemia in June 2013. The charity offers support to those with amputations or limb deficiencies through emotional and practical help and initiatives in sport and recreation. This year budding Finding Your Feet fundraisers will be boarding the ferry to Millport with bikes and even a fire engine in tow on Sunday 5 June, where the main sponsored cycle event and all the family fun will take place between 12pm and 3pm. Throw into the mix a load of kids’ entertainment, tons of inflatables and activities, a craft village, live bands and food and drink and you’ve got what promises to be a fantastic, fun filled family day out. All funds raised from entry registration and sponsorship will go to Finding Your Feet, which will enable the charity to continue to support amputees and those with limb deficiencies. The charity already runs a successful programme of activities for amputees in Scotland, including funding sessions in climbing, cycling, swimming and skiing. The charity recently hit the headlines after launching Scotland’s first amputee football team. Gift Vouchers are a great solution to show someone you care. Pop into the Lounge to collect or simply phone 01505 690090 and we will post one to you. 37 Main Street Bridge of Weir Manicures ~ Pedicures ~ Waxing ~ Tinting ~ Massage Facials ~ LVL Lashes ~ Spray Tanning Everything has been thought of to make any participation in the event as straight forward and easy as possible - the charity has even teamed up with Mapes & Sons cycle shop which is located closest to where the event will be held in the grounds of Garrison House in Millport. Mapes is offering a 10% discount to groups looking to hire bikes to take part in the fun’raiser, which can be organized on the day or in advance. Corinne Hutton commented: “Last year our Millport Family Cycle event was a huge success and the response was so positive that we simply had to repeat it this year. We’re a really active charity and most of our fundraising events centre around active, physical activities - it’s great to be able to get the whole family involved in something that not only raises money to support amputees but is a whole lot of fun too.” For those who are up for the family cycle challenge, there’ll be a special medal and some Finding Your Feet goodies at the finish line - a fitting reminder of the achievement and great way to remember the day! Those keen to secure their place on the starting line ahead of the 10-mile cycle are urged to register their interest now by contacting info@findingyourfeet.net.
