Maree Todd MSP

A very short & gray December day today but our #dailymile at Inverbroom was lovely.

Just a couple weeks until the days get longer again ❤️

Really lovely day campaigning at home in Ullapool yesterday - thanks to everyone who chatted to us.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas….

“Nollaig Chridheil agus Bliadhna Mhath Ur!”

Some of our current clients also shared their experiences and the progress they have made since coming to Abbeycare.

Thank you for coming along today, and for your ongoing support!

@mareetodd.bsky.social @smfcfoundation.bsky.social (3/3).

The Minister took a tour; spoke to the team about the services provided by Abbeycare; our aftercare and community projects, including Abbeycare Buddies, our partnership with St Mirren FC Charitable Foundation and The Recovery Collective; and the role of sport in community and recovery. (2/3).

Left to Right – Liam Mehigan (Director at Abbeycare), Maree Todd (Scottish Minister for Drugs and Alcohol Policy and Sport) and Douglas McFarlane (Registered Manager at Abbeycare) stand together smiling in front of a frosted glass wall with the Abbeycare logo visible. Two men wearing workplace lanyards are positioned on either side of a woman in a green checked blazer.

Abbeycare were delighted to welcome Maree Todd, Scottish Minister for Drugs and Alcohol Policy and Sport to our Erskine centre today. (1/3).

Thank you to @mareetodd.bsky.social for coming along to our Families Voices event today. Having heard directly from our mums affected by substance use, we hope that intensive support can be expanded to more mothers and their children which will give children a better start in life.

Gorgeous crossing back to Ullapool. Flat calm in the loch, pink tinted skies & snow on the hills.

Lovely 😍

Thoroughly enjoyed our crossing in the tail end of a storm.

We couldn’t see the gorgeous hills of Wester Ross or North West Sutherland but the sea was wild & beautiful!

Check out our wee saltire battling wind & waves.

A wild day in the North West Highlands but Cooper had fun chasing deer (too old to catch them) and gathering seaweed.

I’m hopefully getting the ferry to Stornoway this morning - luckily I have decent sea legs.

Looking forward to some SNP campaigning & a St Andrews night do!

Looks fantastic!

We've a packed Wednesday Club celebrating St Andrew's Day with Newton Primary School children singing along with our members, carers and volunteers. Thank you Isla and Sue for the great entertainment. @mareetodd.bsky.social

An immense privilege to present Scotland’s goal shooter Emma Barrie with player of the match tonight.

A great win for the Thistles vs Cymru in the Celtic Cup.

Well done!

Cracking commute to Invergordon this morning - visiting South Lodge Primary for democracy week.

-6C but the sky was pink, the road was black & the deer were easy to spot!

Lovely 😍

Icy fungus, beautiful day, beautiful #dailymile

It was a wee bit wild in Wester Ross today but we had a fabulous time delivering surveys.

It’s beautiful whatever the weather 😍

Lovely to chat to so many people in Laide, Sand, First and Second Coast, Durnamuck and Badluarach.

Thank you!

I forgot to post this morning’s #dailymile pic.

I like to pause at the head of the wee loch, take a deep breath & enjoy the view.

This morning, this fella was in my spot.

Lovely!

The team at Reach was delighted yesterday to receive a visit from @mareetodd.bsky.social to discuss the importance of our accredited human-rights based training!

Huge thank you to @richardleonardmsp.bsky.social and Fulton MacGregor for helping put this meeting together and for their ongoing support

Really lovely Edinburgh #dailymile this morning to start the term.

Breezy & cool in the morning sunshine.

A more conventional, shorter #dailymile today, taking in some of the gorgeous sights of Milan.

Really lovely way to explore!

Fantastic day at the Shinty/Hurling International between Scotland and Ireland in Inverness.

Great to see energetic sporting encounters with such deep roots providing an opportunity to bind our countries together. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪

Our #dailymile in Milan turned into a 15k!!

We couldn’t resist - lovely weather, flat running along the Grand Canal and a pastry in the sunshine to finish.

Perfetto! 😎

One of the joys of running a #dailymile is that you can do it anywhere - it’s a great way to explore.

A cool autumn morning in Bellagio - lovely!

All the best days start with a #dailymile

Day 2 at at the SNP conference almost done. There’s been plenty of passion & energy for shaping our own destiny.

The fresh start we need is independence!

Thank you @mareetodd.bsky.social , MSP for Caithness, Sutherland and Ross for visiting our stand and signing our pledge to make lung health a priority in Scotland by improving prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care #SNP25

Government minister @mareetodd.bsky.social has been a longstanding supporter of the daily mile and the health benefits of outdoor recreation and spoke to us powerfully at #SNP25 on the emotional pull of the outdoors for people.

Lovely sunny morning on the doors in Tain with our by-election candidate Peter Newman.

Thanks to everyone who took time to chat to us.

Vote SNP 1️⃣ on September 25th!

Warm & sunny Edinburgh #dailymile this morning before heading north.

Lovely!

A cheeky wee Manchester #dailymile before breakfast.

I’m here for the Scotland v Wales game but the city is gearing up for #Pride2025 & a Man City game too!

Best of luck to the Scotland team today in this vital opener #RWC2025 #AsOne #SheCanSheWill

In Lerwick for the NHS Shetland annual review so had the pleasure of starting my day with a wee run around the Knab.

Lovely! #DailyMile
