Stagecoach support Kiltwalk volunteers

Stagecoach is proud to support Scotland’s Kiltwalk this year by offering free bus travel for the ‘Kiltie’ volunteers who help make the Kiltwalk possible every year.

'Kilties' will have access to free travel through the Stagecoach Bus App, enabling convenient and easy travel between Kiltwalk events in Scotland’s major cities. The app offers additional benefits, allowing volunteers to plan their journeys, track their buses in real time and receive the latest service updates.

The Kiltwalk is Scotland's largest mass participation charity walking event, with 178,000 people taking part since its launch in 2016. Events take place in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen, with Glasgow being the largest. Participants can take part in walks ranging in distance from, The Mighty Stride (22.7 miles), The Big Stroll (14.4 miles) and The Wee Wander (3 miles).

Last year, Stagecoach employees took part in Kiltwalk events across the country, raising money for charities close to their hearts. Supported charities included: MND Scotland, Alzheimer Scotland, CHAS (Children’s Hospices Across Scotland) and SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health). Members of the Stagecoach team will once again be participating this year to raise money for their chosen charities.

Debra Goodwin, Chief Customer Officer at Stagecoach said: “We have a history of supporting the Kiltwalk, with our team members participating to raise funds for various charities. This year, we are taking our support a step further by providing free transport for Kilties across Scotland. We believe this initiative supports the people and charities in our communities and inspires more volunteers to join in and make a difference.”

Paul Cooney, CEO, Kiltwalk added: “Kilties are the heartbeat of Kiltwalk and the generosity of Stagecoach supporting their travel is true Kiltwalk kindness. Thank you, Stagecoach.”

This initiative will be available across Stagecoach operating companies in West, East, and North Scotland, enabling volunteers from all over the country to take advantage of this opportunity.
