LGBT Youth Scotland invites you to champion LGBTQ+ visibility this February by lighting up Scotland with our Purple Friday: Miles for Money Challenge. Visibility is so important for LGBTQ+ young people because it shows them that they are seen and loved for who they are. It challenges stereotypes, dispels ignorance, and fosters acceptance. Being a visible ally for LGBTQ+ equality opens hearts and minds, creating a more inclusive Scotland for all.

This Purple Friday we are asking you to be a high-viz/visible ally and light up your community, school or workplace by taking on our Miles for Money Challenge – Decide your distance and cover as many miles as you can to raise much needed funds for Scotland’s national charity for LGBTQ+ young people. The more miles we can clock up, the more money we can raise and the brighter Scotland becomes. You’ll quite literally be able to see our map of Scotland light up purple on the day with all the amazing activity that happens across the country.

Decide if you’d like to do a month-long challenge throughout February or complete all your miles in a day. Set yourself a target and for every mile you walk raise at least £1. Together, let’s shine a light for LGBTQ+ visibility and give LGBTQ+ young people in Scotland a brighter future.
