Tullochan annually supports over 1000 young people aged 7-24 across West Dunbartonshire through a range of development programmes in Primary and Secondary schools alongside our post-school project Tullochan Futures and 2 Social Enterprises. Many of the young people we engage with are facing barriers which impact the ability to sustain their education and potential.

Venture Scotland believe we can empower young adults, who are facing challenges, to understand and improve their mental health and emotions and in doing so, change the course of their lives. We do this by delivering four progressive outdoor-based personal development programmes, known as the Journey. Using Scotland’s natural environments, both remote and within our local communities, we deliver regular group-based outdoor activities, life skills sessions, and bothy or camping residentials, backed up by 1-2-1 support sessions.

Venture Trust supports young people and adults facing some of life’s toughest challenges to make positive life changes - through community and outdoor personal development programmes and our Outdoor Therapy service. Venture Trust supports ex-service personnel struggling with the transition to civilian life, people struggling with poor mental health, involvement in Scotland’s criminal justice system, substance misuse issues, long term unemployment, and supports disadvantaged young people into training and employment. We work with people to help them gain the life skills, stability and confidence needed to reach their potential. Through person-centred support in communities and experiential learning in Scotland’s wilder places we challenge individuals to reflect on beliefs, attitudes and behaviours so they can unlock skills and learn new, more positive ways of approaching situations.

Woodcraft Folk is a co-operative youth movement open to everyone. We support children to take the lead and change their world through weekly local group activities and camping trips as well as national and international events and opportunities. Woodcraft Folk activities grow children’s confidence, develop skills as well as help to build an understanding and respect of the world around them. We’ve been running since 1925 and we’re still going strong!

WorkingRite aims to address community-based challenges – such as deprivation, generational poverty, crime, homelessness and drug/alcohol addiction through life skills and employability training. Our programmes are the practical pathway to a job or apprenticeship for young people (15-25) – starting in school, or once they have left, with longer mentoring provided at the end. It is a relationship-based and person-centred model of learning, designed to inspire young people to succeed, with mentors as the key throughout.
