Why We're Taking to the Skies

On Friday, 14th August 2026, an adventurous team of MCR Pathways supporters will be taking to the skies at Strathclyde Country Park, soaring 1,000 feet across the loch on the thrilling Zipslide.

By stepping outside their comfort zone, they'll be raising vital funds to help more young people across the UK have someone in their corner—someone who listens, encourages and believes in them when it matters most.

Why It Matters

Every young person deserves the opportunity to realise their potential.

At MCR Pathways, we know that having one trusted adult can make all the difference. A mentor can help a young person build confidence, raise their aspirations and believe in what they're capable of achieving.

That's why every donation matters.

The funds raised through this challenge will help us recruit, train and support more volunteer mentors, ensuring more young people have someone by their side as they navigate school, make decisions about their future and discover what's possible.

We're more than a charity—we're a community of mentors, supporters, colleagues and partners, all united by one shared belief:

Until everyone has someone.

How You Can Help

Please support our Zipslide team by donating whatever you can. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help create more life-changing mentoring relationships.

Taking that first step off the platform may take a little courage, but every donation you make will help give a young person the confidence to take their own next step towards a brighter future.

Together, we can help ensure more young people have someone in their corner.

Gift Aid Reminder: If you're a UK taxpayer, don't forget to tick the Gift Aid box when donating. It allows MCR Pathways to claim an extra 25% on your donation at no extra cost to you.
