Venture Scotland is a youth-led organisation delivering long-term, outdoor-based programmes that help vulnerable people discover their self-worth and hope for the future. Using Scotland’s natural environments and person-centred practice, we deliver powerful, progressive personal development programmes over 5-months. Our outdoor-qualified team deliver adventurous activities; life skills sessions; 1-to-1 support sessions; and remote bothy residentials. We work with young people who are experiencing challenges from poverty, addiction, unemployment, disability and isolation, which affects their mental health. By focusing on positive relationships, long-term support, a safe and nurturing environment, and learning new skills, they go on a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance and self-belief. Thanks to a donation from Whirlwind’s donation, a group of 10 young people will benefit from our life changing programme.
