Barefoot Munro for Wilderness Wellbeing CIC
Forres, United Kingdom
Aim
In October, I will hike Ben Wyvis with nae shoes on! I aim to raise funds to support the work of Wilderness Wellbeing CIC.
I really dislike waring shoes and absolutely love hiking. I am yet to combine the two so have decided to hike my first barefoot munro in October.
All funds will go forward as a donation to Wilderness Wellbeing CIC, a social enterprise whose objective is to make positive mental health a right, not a privilege. This is achieved through mixed gender Mental Wellbeing Weekends held in the Braes of Glenlivet.

These weekends are about so much more than 'being on retreat'. Each time community is formed on the basis of sharing with one another. Be that via vulnerable sharing of stories or simply through sharing the experience of learning a new skill or sharing the appreciation for the landscape that surrounds them.
I have seen, and experienced, first hand the impact that these weekends can have towards encouraging positive mental wellbeing. An impact that remains even after the weekend as Yaz organises events, holds check ins and encourages the community to keep going throughout the year.
Whatever you can donate would be so appreciated!
