Gavin is raising money for Venture Trust!

Venture Trust delivers intensive outdoor therapeutic programmes for people, at any stage in their life, struggling with issues such as involvement in the justice system, long-term unemployment, recovery from addiction, homelessness or risk of homelessness, isolation, and a history of trauma or harm.

Venture Trust uses the outdoors as a catalyst for change, working both in individuals local communities and in the wilder places of Scotland, supporting them to make significant improvements in their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, relationships and use of local support and services.

Over the next year, Gavin will take on up to 15 challenges to raise vital funds for Venture Trust's work.

Any money raised will be used to support Scotland's adults and young people facing life's toughest challenges through community and outdoor-based personal development programmes, employability courses and an Outdoor Therapy service.
