A FAIFLEY woman has embarked on a 96-mile challenge to raise money for a mental health charity. Kayleigh Morrison, 30, is completing a virtual West Highland Way walk in aid of the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH). Due to Covid restrictions, Kayleigh is covering the miles locally, with the support of her fiancée, Rebecca Cowan. Her initial fundraising target of £100 has already been met, with her Just Giving page sitting at just over £300. Kayleigh said: “I heard a radio advert about a walk happening to raise money for a mental health charity, but it was only England and Wales so I decided to find a Scottish one.

Sir, – As a coalition of leading providers of care and support to vulnerable children and young people, we echo the call by the Scottish Association for Mental Health in its manifesto for the Scottish Parliament elections for “radical action” to combat a growing mental health crisis.
We have for some time raised concerns over a potential lost generation of vulnerable children and young people, whose mental health is being impacted even further by the pandemic.
It should however be highlighted that prior to the pandemic, cases of poor mental health were at unprecedented levels and there are a growing number of vulnerable children who cannot access services.
