Even though I’m not fit or a sporty person at all, I plan to walk, run, swim, and cycle on an exercise bike to add some miles to support Venture Scotland's attempt to rack up 11,646 miles to get round the coast of mainland Scotland! We, as a team, are hoping to raise money for our incredible programmes that support young people in Scotland who are struggling with challenges from homelessness and addiction to mental health issues and illness.

It’s definitely going to be a challenge, especially since most of it will happen while I’m on holiday! But I’m looking forward to sticking with it and proving to myself that I can do it. Plus, knowing it’s all for such a good cause will keep me going, even on tough days. If you can show support, please do so!

£8 could be for food for when they're away on a wilderness residential

£10 allows a young person entry to an indoor climbing wall

£23 pays for an hour of the Delivery Team Leader's time to support young people on programme, designing and delivering adventurous outdoor days that lead to social and emotional learning.

The young people on Venture Scotland's programmes need this time to build the strong and supportive relationships that improve their mental health and are so important for starting to make the changes they need in their lives.

Young people make MILES of progress when they're with VS; and with your support, my miles will make a lasting impact!
