Story

Alex and Emma are going to bounce their way up Ben Lomond on the Bank Holiday Weekend. Ben Lomond is 3,196ft , and on the trampoline they bounce about 1 foot high. They'll split it between them, so that's...1,598 bounces each.

-----------------------------OK, scratch that. We're feeling full of vim and vigour this morning, so we're both doing the full height!----------------------------------

They know Dad works at Venture Trust and they've heard about how important it is to keep in touch with people who were relying on you for support before lockdown. Here's what Venture Trust are up to: http://www.venturetrust.org.uk/be-well-be-connected-be-ready/

For people already in a difficult place and getting support to turn their lives around, this pandemic together with lockdown and isolation from family, friends and support services could knock them off track. Half of our clients worry that they face damaging social isolation.Lockdown is vital for reducing the spread of infection, keeping us safe and avoiding overwhelming the NHS - its the right thing to do. But for people already facing personal challenges or suffering from the effects of poverty and inequality, lockdown means new problems to address.In response we turned our services outsidein, moving from group-based personal development in Scotlands wilderness and community greenspaces to working with smart technology to reach those needing help most in their own homes. Our new support service is online, with all outreach and development staff providing tailored support by phone, video link or other digital means.Your donation helps keep people connected at this time.
