KALI RUNS FOR THE SSPCA
Scottish Charity No. SC 006467
On October 4th, our community will be walking or running the 10km or half marathon through Glasgow to raise money for the Scottish SSPCA and we want YOU to join us!
Animal welfare and community is close to our hearts and it is our intention to make some big ripples this year! We will be training together, supporting one another and raising funds for the animals currently being cared for at the SSPCA centres throughout Scotland.
Ready to challenge yourself and make a difference with us?
Since volunteering as a dog walker at the Lanarkshire location, my world has been totally rocked. On one hand, it’s so beautiful to see how cared for the animals are and the good work of the incredible people at the SSPCA. On the other hand, it’s heart breaking that the animals are there at all.
I’ve seen with my own eyes the difference that’s make with donations and fundraising. It’s imperative that we come together and keep doing what we can to support the sweet souls at the centres, waiting for a home.

Between now and October we are asking each person to raise money for our communal JustGiving page. All of the money will be going to the SSPCA.
On October 4th, we meet at The Kali Collective Yoga studio for a group pep talk with Beki and a warm up. You may leave all your belongings at the studio during the run. We will walk together to the start line and be there for you at the finish line!
