Sponsored Walk

A message from Jenna

Most of you reading this will be aware that my dad (Eddie Baillie) received a life saving double lung transplant last year giving him a second chance of life. To celebrate the first birthday of his new lungs, and everything this past year has meant to him, we're holding a 10k sponsored walk - with my dad leading the way!!

When he needed to travel to Newcastle for his transplant, my dad was lucky enough to receive transport from the Scottish Air Ambulance who got him to Freemans hospital in around 50 minutes, compared to what would have been a 4 hour journey by road. That flight meant that the whole transplant procedure could start much quicker.

The Scottish Air Ambulance is an incredible service that is entirely funded by donations and we wanted to give something back to ensure they can keep doing their amazing work.

Every donation, big or small helps keep this vital service flying. If you're able to donate or share this page we would be so thankful.

Help Jenna Glen raise money to support Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance

Listening Service

We know this time of year can be challenging. The days are short, temperatures are freezing, and all the pressures of a new year can quickly pile on.

That's why we have the Community Listening Service in practice, to give you the space to offload and find your own way through. Our volunteer Debbie offers 50-minute, face-to-face sessions on a Wednesday afternoon.

This season can be tough, but you don't have to get through it alone. Call reception on 01356 624411 to book your appointment.
