Wiltshire Community Foundation Grant Fund – Youth Adventure Trust
As a firm, we have a long and proud history of supporting Community Foundations, who rely on donations from organisations and individuals to help improve local communities by providing grants to various projects. Because we know that giving back helps drive our communities forward.
Since 2004, we have been working with Wiltshire Community Foundation to build a grant fund that supports local communities across Wiltshire. Throughout 2023, our grant fund was used to support The Youth Adventure Trust.
The Youth Adventure Trust uses outdoor adventure and activities, alongside one-to-one support, to empower vulnerable young people aged 11-16 from Wiltshire, Swindon and Somerset to fulfil their potential and lead positive lives. They work with them to build resilience, develop confidence and learn skills. The Youth Adventure Trust has been using outdoor adventure to inspire young people for 30 years and help up to 360 young people a year.
