We’re celebrating the remarkable determination and incredible resilience of our supporters! This year, 170 dedicated fundraisers took on a YAT challenge, raising an amazing £22,000 to provide life-changing opportunities for the local vulnerable young people we work with.
Our inspiring participants from the Wiltshire and Somerset areas pushed themselves by taking on the Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge, the Somerset Cycle or the Summit Under Stars. They tested their endurance to help young people build their own resilience through outdoor adventure and one-to-one support.
Louise Balaam, our Director of Fundraising and Engagement says “We’re delighted that so many people have chosen to take on a Youth Adventure Challenge this year. It’s fantastic that the community has embraced the idea of pushing boundaries to raise much-needed funds for our charity.”
The funds raised will go directly towards helping us deliver our long-term outdoor adventure programmes. This vital funding enables us to transform the futures of local young people, equipping them with the essential skills, confidence, and resilience needed to face their own personal challenges.
“I’ve just had an amazing time. I’d recommend it to as many people as I can and I really want to thank the people that fund it for us – thank you.” – Young Person, Youth Adventure Programme.
