Employees from CJ Lang & Son have raised more than £24,000 for GroceryAid by taking part in all four Kiltwalks over the summer.

The charity has provided grocery people practical, emotional and financial support since 1857, with a 24/7 helpline and website to help employees when they need it.

CJ Lang staff from across Scotland competed in the events in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, and Edinburgh to raise funds for the charity.

A total of 186 employees from across the business got involved, completing various lengths, from the Wee Wander, to the Big Stroll or Mighty Stride. This included staff from stores across Scotland, the Dundee based depot and head office on Longtown Road, as well as members of the field teams who work the length and breadth of the country. Shareholders, the Chairman and the Chief Executive also took part. Three of the senior team completed all four Mighty Stride walks over 100 miles.

In total, including a top up by Sir Tom Hunter, funds raised for GroceryAid were £24,038.

Sonya Harper, Central Operations Director for CJ Lang, said: “It was great fun getting our teams out walking the fantastic Kiltwalk routes, raising vital funds for GroceryAid while having some fun along the way. Many of our team are already talking about Kiltwalk 2023.”
