The Youth Adventure Trust is a youth development charity working with vulnerable young people aged 11 to 16 years old from Wiltshire and Swindon.

Our outdoor activity based Youth Adventure Programme enables vulnerable young people to challenge themselves, experience success, learn to go beyond their own expectations and grow in confidence. Through a series of residential camps and day activities they are able to build resilience, self esteem and develop social and life skills.

The Mentoring Scheme is an additional offer for those young people identified as in need of some further individualised support at the end of the main programme. Volunteer mentors work with a young person for up to a year, supporting them with issues they are experiencing, continuing to develop their confidence, resilience and life skills, and working towards the outcomes the young person has identified for themselves.

The Trust’s Bursary Scheme is open to all those young people who have completed the main programme to assist their next steps into further activities.

All our services are provided completely free of charge to the young people who are nominated to take part. Our aim is to make a lasting improvement to the lives of vulnerable young people.
