Justice-specific programmes focused on rehabilitation and reducing offending throughout Scotland
Employability programmes for young people facing hardship and disadvantage in Scotland
An Outdoor Therapy service, combining professional therapy with the benefits from time in nature and the outdoors

How Your Support Helps

Through our partnership with Run For Charity, we have spaces available for over 700 challenge events UK-wide, including walking, running, cycling and other adrenaline-fuelled challenges.

By choosing to take part in any of these events for Venture Trust, you’ll be helping us change the lives of Scottish people facing some of life’s toughest challenges.

We could not do the work we do if it wasn't for the support from people like you!

We can support with setting up fundraising pages, ideas of how to fundraise and any materials you may need. Just contact funding@venturetrust.org.uk.
