A huge thank you to everyone that walked the Kiltwalk on Sunday for EKFH! This includes our friends at Nile and Digby Brown Edinburgh ❤️

Together, the two teams raised an incredible £2,586!

Here are some photos from the Digby Brown team - even Charlie the dog received a medal 🐾

Every pound donated goes directly towards our core service, creating healthy meals for people in poverty across the city. If you'd like to support either of the teams, the links are:
