| Recipient Org: Description | Venture Scotland was?founded in 1987 by a group of Raleigh International volunteers, who understood the positive effect that green and open spaces?have on?health and wellbeing.?Our work is based on our core values of Trust, Respect, Inclusion, Diversity, Environment and Personal Development. Venture Scotland?s aim is to transform the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged young people (YP) by giving them the skills to understand and improve their mental health and emotions and make positive changes to their lives and local community. Venture Scotland delivers 4 progressive programmes to YP aged 16-30. Our 4-stage ?Journey? programme (Challenge, Discover, Explore and Leadership) takes place over a 12-month period and utilises Scotland?s challenging natural environments to deliver regular person-centred, group-based outdoor activities (such as gorge walking, canoeing and hill climbing). Each stage of our programme includes 1-to-1 support sessions and life-skills group sessions and concludes with a remote activity-based residential at our Glen Etive and Borders bothies. Our programme is underpinned by our outdoor activity days. Our outdoor activities are designed to develop our YP?s resilience, build their confidence and enhance their mental and physical wellbeing by showing them what they can achieve by stepping outside their comfort zone. Our ethos is to use the Scottish outdoors as a vehicle for improved mental health and self-esteem; by focusing on gaining confidence, overcoming challenges and experiencing their potential, our YP can channel this experience into their daily lives. |
