Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park Staff are aiming to travel 2,200 miles in September - the equivalent of going round the National Park 10 times - while raising money for Venture Scotland and supporting young people's mental health.

The miles achieved with be added to Venture Scotland's attempt to rack up 11,646 to get round the coast of Scotland, raising money for their incredible programmes that support young people in Scotland who are struggling with challenges from homelessness and addiction to mental health issues and illness.

£8 could buy food for 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.

National Park Staff will be contributing in various ways by walking a lunchtime mile, regular hill walks, running, cycling and walking challenges. We know the value of the great outdoors to wellbeing and health and have been proud to support Venture Scotland!
