Unlocking Adventure: Help fund 10,000 hours of life-changing experiences

This summer, you can unlock confidence and resilience for a vulnerable young person

The Youth Adventure Trust’s Unlocking Adventure campaign is raising funds to provide 10,000 hours of outdoor adventure for vulnerable young people during the summer months. These aren’t just hours outdoors – they’re life-changing experiences that build resilience, develop confidence and teach skills for a more positive future.

Just £4.63 unlocks one hour of adventure. Every donation takes us one step closer to reaching our goal.

Why 10,000 hours?

This summer, we plan on delivering over 52,000 hours of outdoor adventure to vulnerable young people – and we need your help to unlock the final 10,000. With support already in place from generous grant funders, corporate partners, fundraising events and loyal donors, this campaign is about completing the picture.

Each hour you help fund is carefully designed to show a young person that they can achieve more than they ever thought possible – a mindset that will empower them to fulfil their potential.
