Good Morning Mountain Challenge

5 Peaks of the Compass

Friends of the charity: Steve Boyd, Gordon Main, Steve Thompson and Ross Thomson came up with the challenge of bagging five of Scotland's highest peaks on the compass: the most northern, southern, eastern, western and central mountains of Scotland within 36 hours.

Their route: a midnight start at Ben Hope in Sutherland, down to central Schielallion near Aberfeldy, swung eastwards to Mount Keene near Brechin, then crossed the country to Ben Lomond in the west. The final challenge loomed over the sea to Skye, and a climb of Sgurr na Banachdich.

"Five highest mountains and 620 miles in 34 hours, 50 minutes. I've seen how the service helps people and we couldn't think of a better charity to help."

Great Scottish Run

Andy Wright

Andy, Service Manager, undertakes the annual Great Scottish Run to raise funds for the charity. Each autumn Andy braves the usually cold, wet and windy weather in the Great Scottish Run to raise funds for Good Morning Service.

"I know first-hand how much our Good Morning Calls mean to people. When people call us their lifesavers, good friends, and even family, then you know we're doing something special."

"I'm not a huge fan of running, more into 5-a-side football, but gave it a go a few years ago and members really encouraged me so here I am again!."

Look out for Andy in the Great Scottish Run, and say "hello!"!

Corporate Sponsorship

Leading Glasgow city centre law firm, Dallas McMillan, announces a new charity partnership with Good Morning Service.

Gordon Bell, Partner and Head of Litigation, explained:

"As a firm, we are committed to fundraising for charitable causes where we feel we can make a real difference. When we became aware of work and impact of the Good Morning Service we wanted to take action. Having provided employment support pro bono to the charity since 2016 we have become familiar with the organisation therefore adding a fund-raising strategy was the natural next step."

"By adding a second charity to our portfolio this year we are bolstering our corporate social responsibility strategy, something which is important to the team here at Dallas McMillan."

Nicky Thomson, Chief Executive of Good Morning Service, added:

"We're absolutely delighted to become a charity partner of Dallas McMillan. The demand for our Good Morning Call service continues to grow and their financial support is much needed. The generosity of the team and their network is warmly appreciated and will directly support us in supporting older people to live a life where they are - and feel - connected, safer and valued."
