A CHARITY worker who runs walking groups in Dunfermline and Fife is just champion.
A panel of expert judges were wowed by Magdalena Augustyn-Lygas’ co-ordination of the Sole Sisters community health walk project, run by Fife Migrants Forum.
Magdalena scooped the Community Walking Champion title and was crowned Overall Champion in the first ever Scottish Walking Awards
The Sole Sisters project brings together women from the migrant and local community through walks in Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy, providing regular health walks and conversation cafes, enabling participants to make social connections and build confidence speaking English.
During the pandemic, Magdalena has worked tirelessly to keep the project going, organising online workshops and group activities wherever restrictions allowed.
