In memory of Polly Kenyon
Your donation will benefit vulnerable young people in the greater Edinburgh and Glasgow areas who, having suffered traumatic experiences, are now involved in harmful, risk-taking behaviours to cope with their lives.

Story

We are a group of friends and colleagues running 10km around Glasgow. We wanted to set ourselves a challenge to pay tribute to our dear friend Polly who loved to run. We feel she would approve of our choice of charity to raise money for in her name. 

Your donation will help Venture Scotland change the lives of vulnerable young people in the greater Edinburgh and Glasgow areas. Many of whom, have suffered adverse childhood experiences or trauma and because of this, are now involved in harmful, risk-taking behaviours to cope with life. Venture Scotland delivers a unique personal development programme based in the Scottish outdoors and helps young people overcome their issues to fulfil their potential and play a positive role in their communities. Please help Venture Scotland #ChangeYoungLives #runningforpollyk
