Venture Trust

Since 1983, Venture Trust has led the way on intensive personal development for people, at any stage in their life, struggling with issues such as long term unemployment, recovery from addiction, homelessness, isolation, involvement in the criminal justice system in Scotland, and a history of trauma or harm.

We provide:

• Evidence and impact led criminal justice programmes focused on rehabilitation and reducing offending throughout Scotland
• Employability programmes for young people facing hardship and disadvantage in Scotland
• Evidence led programmes for ex-service personnel struggling with civilian life
• Personal development programmes that significantly improve people’s wellbeing, relationships and use of local support and services

We support people in their local community and with learning and development in the Scottish wilderness. The outdoors offers inherent challenge for individuals to reflect on beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. With time and space away from influences at home, individuals can unlock skills and learn new, more positive, ways of approaching situations.
