Raising money for The Polar Academy

We are a Scottish mental health charity that aims to stop the downward spiral of negativity many young people are now on. Our training programme aims to empower vulnerable teenagers, teach them to take control of their own lives and their future and help them find the voice they never knew they had.

Story

A group of determined young people from Ellon Academy are preparing to take on the adventure of a lifetime, a life-changing Polar Expedition with The Polar Academy in March 2027.

This extraordinary opportunity is about far more than reaching a remote destination. It’s about resilience, confidence, teamwork, and discovering what they’re truly capable of. Over the coming months, these students will undergo intensive physical and mental training, pushing beyond their limits and growing stronger together. For many, this journey represents a turning point, a chance to build self-belief, overcome challenges, and return home with a renewed sense of purpose.

To make this expedition possible, the team is working hard to raise the funds needed to support training, equipment, and travel. Every contribution, no matter the size, will directly support these young people as they take on this incredible challenge and represent their community on a global stage.

By supporting them, you are not just helping fund an expedition, you are investing in confidence, ambition, and life-changing experiences that will stay with them forever.
