Glasgow Airport chaplaincy team raises £2100 with a Kiltwalk
published on 2 May 2025
Members of The Salvation Army chaplaincy team at Glasgow Airport helped raise £2100 for people affected by motor neuron disease (MND) by taking part in the Kiltwalk.
Chaplain Major Iain Hudson and assistant chaplain Marianne Harvey joined staff from the airport to complete the Kiltwalk’s 14-mile "Big Stroll” from Clydebank to Balloch. Thanks to their efforts they raised £2100 in donations for MND Scotland - which is the airport’s charity of the year.
Major Iain said: “We were part of tens of thousands walking that day many raising money for various charities across Scotland. Some next year want to volunteer to walk the longer 23 miles such was the enjoyment.”
The Salvation Army chaplaincy mission is “to be there for anyone who needs our service, irrespective of denomination, faith or creed”. According to Iain, they might be responding to the demands of a major incident or simply a worried individual whose luggage has gone missing. They also oversee the multi-faith prayer room which is located just before the security gates to enable it to be used by anyone visiting the airport.
