Together Tayside C.I.C. Launch Support

Aim

We are raising funds to support a new social enterprise that will provide mental health and wellbeing support to the people of Tayside.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our page.

At the end of 2025, we delivered a successful pilot project to support members of the community who were experiencing mental health and wellbeing challenges. This was kindly funded by The NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation and a fantastic Dundee Kiltwalk 2025, in which we raised over £4000. This allowed 72 people to be supported, with each participant recording a positive and valuable experience for their wellbeing. 

The demand for and success of this project has led to creating Together Tayside C.I.C., a community interest company that uses all donations and profits raised to the social benefit of the community which it serves.

Newly registered and at the start up stage, Together Tayside will provide mental health and wellbeing support to anyone living, working or studying in Tayside.  Any profit generated from our wellbeing and therapy services will support members of our community who are affected by trauma and/or facing financial challenges.

Through the Kiltwalk 2026, we are looking to raise funds for the critical start up stage of this service. If you can, please support us to support others.

Just look at the video from last year - what an event to be part of!  

We have a great bunch of walkers - here is just a couple of them!
