With a city centre start and finish, the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run is a celebration of everything that makes Glasgow truly great: inspiring urban architecture, green spaces, history, music, strength, spirit and, of course, great people, personality and humour. Thousands of runners take part each year to challenge themselves and to raise money for good causes. And Scotland’s friendliest city always delivers on the support front too, with crowds of locals turning out each year to cheer and high-five from beginning to end. Plus there’s medals, finisher t-shirts and bragging rights for all!

Around the world, torture is still used to silence and destroy lives. Freedom from Torture is dedicated to healing and protecting people who have survived torture. We stand with survivors, providing therapy and support, and fighting for change together. We provide therapies to improve physical and mental health, we medically document torture and we provide legal and welfare help. We expose torture globally, we fight to hold torturing states to account and we campaign for fairer treatment of torture survivors in the UK. Therapeutic, creative and social groups offer activities from gardening and breadmaking to football and chess, enabling survivors to find peace, make new friends and begin to rebuild their lives. Through our survivor activism programme, we empower survivors to use their unique perspective to campaign and influence policy debates.
