Could you sponsor an adventure?

We're delighted to welcome 80 new 11 and 12 year olds onto the YAT Adventure Programme, who will be with us for the next two years. This incredible opportunity, which won't cost them a penny, will give them outdoor experiences they wouldn't otherwise have and a chance to build the resilience they need to face their challenges. We know that the current cost of living crisis is having a huge impact on the young people we work with, all of whom are vulnerable and all of whom need our support to reach their full potential. Our activity days and residential camps are more important than ever - together we can inspire young lives.

Meet Poppy

The adventure begins... Can you help a young person like Poppy?

Poppy was extremely nervous about joining the YAT Adventure Programme, but Mum and Programme Manager, Scott, worked together to encourage her to take part in her first adventure - the Explore Day at the end of June. Scott was really pleased to see her giving all of the activities a go and took the opportunity to observe how she was integrating with the rest of the group. He also had a chat with her about her next adventure, Mountain Camp, and helped her to think about her aims:

Poppy's self esteem is really low, so low that she finds it hard to acknowledge positive things and experiences. Coming to Mountain Camp will be a huge challenge for her, and Scott aims to create a safe and friendly environment where Poppy can feel comfortable. Scott's own aim for Poppy is that by the end of the week, Poppy will be able to acknowledge just one good thing about herself.
