We are delighted to share that Mihails , one of our participants, is fundraising for Outdoors For You by taking part in the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run in Glasgow on 4 October 2026.

Mihails has experienced first-hand the difference that inclusive outdoor and wellbeing activities can make.

Since coming to Glasgow, he has taken part in a range of activities organised by Outdoors For You, including hiking, indoor climbing and our Outdoor Wellbeing Hub.

For Mihails, these activities have provided much more than an opportunity to be active. They have supported his physical and mental wellbeing, helped him meet new people and given him opportunities to build friendships and feel more connected to life in Glasgow.

Mihails explains that, from his own experience, he understands how important these opportunities can be for people who are new to the city and looking to become more connected with their community.

He has now decided to give something back by raising money for Outdoors For You.

By taking part in the Great Scottish Run, Mihails hopes to support our work so that more people can enjoy nature, participate in sport and physical activity, improve their wellbeing and build meaningful connections within the wider community.

At Outdoors For You, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being active and spending time outdoors. Our activities help bring people from different backgrounds together, reduce isolation, build confidence and friendships, and support both physical and mental wellbeing.

We are extremely grateful to Mihails for choosing to support our work and for sharing his own experience to help others.

Every donation, large or small, will help us continue creating welcoming and inclusive opportunities for people in our communities.
