A CHARITY has put together a whole package of free ideas, activities and resources to support children over the summer.

The Summer of Adventure has been created by the Youth Adventure Trust to help families get outside and enjoy the holidays.

CEO of the Youth Adventure Trust Mark Davey said: “The challenges the young people on our programme face on a daily basis have not disappeared because of Covid-19.

“If anything, their situations have got harder, especially for those living in potentially harmful or disadvantaged environments. They need us more than ever!”

The Youth Adventure Trust is a registered charity that has helped thousands of young vulnerable people through its three-year outdoor adventure programme which builds resilience, confidence, self-belief and essential life skills.

Mark added: “The Summer of Adventure is something that we hope will help them, and other families up and down the country, to do something positive over the next six weeks so they can make this summer count.”

The Summer of Adventure has been supported by The North Face and Ellis Brigham Mountain Sport.

It is completely free to take part in the Summer of Adventure, but participants are encouraged to make a donation to help ensure vulnerable people can get the support they need.
