A Big Thank You to Our Fundraising Champions!

The last couple of years have been especially exciting for fundraising at Ewen’s Room. We’ve been constantly inspired by the creativity, energy, and passion of every person who has fundraised for us. Today, we want to take a moment to say a huge thank you and celebrate just a few of the incredible efforts from our community.

Walk & Talk – January for Mental Health

Our January Walk & Talk campaign encouraged people to get outside, connect, and support their mental wellbeing – all while raising awareness and funds. It was amazing to see schools, Scouts groups, and community members getting involved. The simple act of walking and talking made a big impact.

The Big Hoof Rides for Resilience

We were thrilled to be supported by The Big Hoof – a long-distance horse trek raising awareness for mental health. It was a joy for our team, schools, and local families to connect with the Big Hoof team and hear about their journey. A huge thank you for bringing such energy (and horses!) to Lochaber.

Rugby, BBQs, and Community Spirit

Our local youth rugby club hosted a brilliant BBQ fundraiser in Mallaig. A special thanks goes to Jenny and Rob, and all the parents who helped make it happen. And of course, a shoutout to Jac-o-bites for donating a rugby tackle bag which the kids absolutely love using.

Pedal Power

Our amazing trustee Charles took on a massive cycling challenge to raise funds for Ewen’s Room -thank you for your dedication and determination!
Meanwhile, Jamie Begg tackled the GBDURO, a self-supported off-road bikepacking event stretching from Land’s End to Cape Wrath. Jamie shared that cycling has become a huge part of his mental wellbeing – a beautiful example of raising funds with something that supports your own mental health- and maybe inspiring someone else to have a go in the process.

Pawsitivity: A Fundraiser Full of Fun (and Puns!)

We also want to thank Jac-o-bites again for helping us run our Pawsitivity fundraiser. A big round of ap’paw’ls to Jenny and Natasha, whose creativity and humour brought this project to life. (Check out our Pawsitivity blog for more tail-wagging details!)
Thank You for Making a Difference

Every pound raised, every mile walked or cycled, every event planned – it all makes a difference. Not just in helping us continue our services, but in raising awareness, breaking stigma, and building a kinder, more connected community.
To everyone who fundraised, supported, donated, or cheered us on – thank you. We are so grateful to have you as part of the Ewen’s Room team!
