The Moderator of the Church of Scotland, the Right Reverend Susan Brown will be joining Christian Aid supporters as they take part in the charity’s annual sponsored Power Walk at Whitelee Windfarm.
The Power Walk will take place on the 25th August at the UK’s largest onshore windfarm with walkers not only raising funds for Christian Aid but also listening to stories of how climate change is affecting communities around the world.
People like Gertrude Hamooya, a small-scale farmer from Zambia who grows maize and groundnuts and keeps free range chickens. With Christian Aid’s support, she is learning how to safeguard her farm against the effects of climate change.

The walk also aims to raise awareness of Christian Aid Scotland’s campaign to push the Scottish Government to commit to end Scotland’s contribution to climate change within a generation.
Sally Foster-Fulton, head of Christian Aid Scotland said: “We welcome the news that Susan will be joining us for our annual Power Walk at Whitelee Windfarm to help raise funds for Christian Aid and highlight the issues surrounding climate change. We hope people will join us for what promises to be a fun, educational and inspiring event.”
The Christian Aid Power Walk will take place on Saturday, 25th August at 11.00am at Whitelee Windfarm, Moor Road, East Renfrewshire, G76 0QQ.
