Thenue Housing and its charitable subsidiary Thenue Communities have scored a tartan fundraising triumph in this weekend’s Kiltwalk

Six members of staff from Thenue took part in Sunday’s Kiltwalk to raise money for The Halliday Foundation – Thenue’s charity of the year.

The Halliday Foundation is one of Glasgow’s most inspiring charities and has a close working relationship with Thenue.

Chief executive Gary Naylor and director of property services Eleanor Derbyshire took part in the walk along with Thenue Communities’ Rosie Robertson and colleagues Nicky Ballantyne, Ashley Frame and Marta Fiorentino.

Kiltwalkers were invited to don a bit of tartan and complete a walking challenge of their choice opting for either the 22.7 miles from Glasgow Green to Balloch or just over 14 miles from Clydebank to Balloch.

Rosie who completed the 22-mile stint with Nicky, Ashley and Marta said: “It was wonderful. A long distance but every step of the way we knew we were raising money for a worthy cause and that kept us going.”

Gary and Eleanor completed the Clydebank to Balloch stretch of the walk. Team Thenue raised a remarkable £1370 for The Halliday Foundation on the day and further fundraising is planned to support the charity throughout the year.

Gary said: “Team Thenue deserve huge praise for their efforts. And the choice of recipient for our charity endeavour couldn’t have been more appropriate. We hope the fundraising will enhance the inspirational work of The Halliday Foundation.”

By the time it was over on Sunday, it emerged that it was a record-breaking walk with £2.5 milllion raised for over 900 charities. Over 14,000 people took part.
