Glasgow pupils complete 5km walk in support of hospice care

Schoolchildren from 14 schools across Glasgow took part in the Go Yellow sponsored walk in support of The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice.

The event aimed to raise £6000 to support people and families affected by life-limiting illness.

The Rapid Relief Team (RRT), a charitable organisation with more than 4000 UK volunteers, played a key role in making the event a success.

A total of 70 RRT volunteers coordinated the event, with 21 volunteers serving 1036 burger meals to pupils, staff, and volunteers at the finish line.

Josh Munns, head of fundraising at The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice, said: "The Go Yellow walk has brought together more than 840 young people from across Glasgow to support the hospice and the patients and families we care for.

"The support from the Rapid Relief Team has helped make it a smooth and positive experience for everyone involved, and we're very grateful for their continued backing."

RRT has supported the Go Yellow walk since 2023, helping to create a consistent and uplifting experience for all involved.
