The Youth Adventure Trust use outdoor adventure and one-to-one support to empower young people to fulfil their potential and lead positive lives in the future.  They work with them to build resilience, develop confidence and learn skills that will last a lifetime, helping them to face the challenge in their lives.  

I began as a volunteer mentor for the charity in 2021. It is amazing to see the difference that two hours spent every other week with a young person can make. The one to one sessions are not all about adventure.  Sometimes, just doing things that the young person doesn't have the opportunity to do in their domestic setting can be very valuable. During my time as a mentor I've cooked, walked, canoed, talked and seen sights as well as eaten a fair amount of cake and ice cream!
