Auld Reekie Roller Derby’s All Stars are taking on the Kiltwalk for Mermaids!

Mermaids is a UK charity working to support transgender, non-binary and gender diverse children, young people and their families. Mermaids’ vision is a safe, inclusive society where trans children and young people are empowered to live their best lives.

Auld Reekie Roller Derby, and the wider roller derby community, strives to be a safe space for people of marginalised identities. Trans and gender diverse people are at the heart of this community.

We are fighting for a better world for trans youth!

Every donation made through Just Giving will allow Mermaids to support more young trans people, giving them the freedom to explore their gender identity and thrive.

Thank you!

Be a part of the best sport EVER!

This 10-week programme consists of weekly two-hour sessions where you will be on skates and learning with our experienced coaches.

During the programme you will learn about the fundamentals of skating, including how to stop, change direction and get comfortable skating in proximity to other people. You will also learn roller derby moves and skills, including an introduction to the full-contact elements of the sport, in a safe and controlled environment.

Plus additional off-skates learning to guide you through your roller derby orientation, the rules of the game, and the basics of officiating so you can choose your pathway into the sport.

We accept anyone from absolute beginners, to those who have skated a lot before – you just have to be over the age of 18.

The dates of the programme are Wednesday 12th February – Wednesday 16th April, 2025.

Book your place here!
