SUMMARY:Dee to the Sea 2026: Fundraising Walk for Greyhope Bay
DESCRIPTION:Our second annual fundraising walk – 32km from Banchory\, along the Deeside Way\, finishing at Greyhope Bay\, Torry Battery\, Aberdeen. \nThis is more than just a walk—it’s a 32km adventure that makes a difference. \nCalling all nature lovers\, adventure seekers\, and charity supporters! Experience the breathtaking beauty of the river Dee on a walk that combines stunning scenery with a worthy cause. Following the success of Dee to the Sea 2025\, we’re excited to host this walk again in 2026. \nDee to the Sea is a sponsored walk which follows the river Dee as it meanders from Banchory all the way to the river’s mouth at Greyhope Bay\, Torry Battery\, Aberdeen. From woodland and farmland in rural Aberdeenshire to a bustling harbour city\, the Dee to the Sea will be a fun day out\, where you can enjoy beautiful local scenery while taking on a worthwhile challenge to benefit a local charity. \nRoute: 32km walk following the Deeside Way from Bellfield Park in Banchory to Duthie Park\, over the Wellington Suspension Bridge into Torry\, finishing up in Torry Battery. The route is primarily off road and has gradual gradients. At 32km long through stunning scenery\, the Dee to the Sea is a rewarding challenge for those with fitness or wellbeing goals. You can view the full route here. \nOur walk will take you through: tranquil watersides\, lush woodland paths\, stunning sea views. \nWith spring in the air (and hopefully in your step!)\, there will be so much to see and enjoy. Keep an eye out for wildlife as you walk\, including birds\, otters\, seals\, and hopefully even dolphins once you reach the sea. \nRegistration for Dee to the Sea will begin at 08:00. All participants must register to check-in. The walk will begin at 09:00. \nFollowing your feedback from the first year\, we are offering one-way transport from Torry to the start point in Bellfield Park\, Banchory if you would like that. Please book your coach tickets at the time of booking. The coach will pick up in Torry at 07:30. There are limited spaces for well-behaved dogs onboard so please contact us directly if you would like to bring your dog on the coach. \nAbout Greyhope Bay & fundraising \nBy taking part in Dee to the Sea\, you’re supporting a local charity making a positive difference in Aberdeen. The ticket sales and funds you raise allow us to continue connecting people to the coastline and helping communities create change\, via talks\, walks\, our education programme\, the Greyhope Bay Centre and Cafe\, creative classes\, and more! \nThis year\, we are aiming to raise at least £7\,500 to help fund our community programme. We are happy to announce we have a prize for the individual\, and the team\, who raises the most funds: \n\n\n\n\nThe prize for the individual who raises the most is a voucher for a return trip on any NorthLink Ferries round trip for two passengers\, a car\, and a cabin on overnight routes.\nThe team who raises the most money will receive a £200 gift voucher for Wild Goose in Aberdeen!\n\nTo be eligible for the prize\, you need to click ‘start fundraising’ on our Dee to the Sea 2026 Campaign – this allows us to keep track of how much individuals\, and teams\, have raised. If your campaign is not linked to our Dee to the Sea 2026 Campaign you will not be eligible as we will not be able to easily see who is raising funds for our campaign. If you have any issues linking your fundraising page\, get in touch with us on hello@greyhopebay.com \nDee to the Sea Just Giving Campaign: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/deetothesea26

SUMMARY:Step-Up-4-HER - For Schools\, Community Centres & Dance Schools
DESCRIPTION:At The Period Place\, we work to ensure that no one is held back because they cannot access period products. Through product distribution\, awareness campaigns\, and education initiatives\, we support individuals and families who are struggling to afford essential menstrual care while also helping to break the stigma that still surrounds periods. \nThis May in support of Menstrual Hygiene Day we are running a school fundraising competition called “Step Up For Her” alongside our annual Walk to Give Her a Voice sponsored walk. Schools across the region will be taking part in a dance challenge to raise funds and awareness for period poverty. The initiative encourages young people to support an important cause while promoting teamwork\, wellbeing\, and community spirit. \n“Step Up For Her” takes place on 28th May\, final date to register is 2nd May. Full details can be found at: walk4her.theperiodplace.co.uk/schools
