Charity and bake sale
Every year we are proud that OUTrun supports a local LGBTQIA+ charity - and this year we will be supporting Time for Inclusive Education (TIE), Scotland’s LGBT Inclusive Education charity.
They work with schools across the country to embed LGBT themes (such as history, rights, and equalities) into ordinary teaching and learning. This approach became a national expectation for schools in 2021 and helps to tackle the stereotypes, prejudice, and bullying that young people who are LGBT, or have LGBT family members, can often experience.
There are three ways we’d be very grateful for your support:
🧁 Buy something delicious from our post-race bake sale, where 100% of donations go to our charity partner. We accept cash or card!
👩🍳 Supply a cake or other goodie for the bake sale - we need cakes to sell!
💰 You can add a donation to your race entry, 100% of which goes to our charity partner.
