Sad news, but we will rebuild…
On Saturday 24th January we were unfortunately the target of mindless vandalism. It was heartbreaking to see the damage done to our Steading at Threipmuir, especially when we work so hard to change the lives of young people and guide them gently onto better paths. However, the subsequent outpouring of love and support from our community and beyond has warmed our hearts and given us hope that we can thrive once again.
One of our long-term volunteers has kindly started a fundraising page and we would be grateful for any help: JustGiving Page. We will be in touch over the next day or so with all who have emailed offering practical and financial help to rebuild and replace damaged and stolen equipment. Thank you all so much!
A number of news outlets have picked up our story and you can read more at the BBC and WashingtonNewsDay

A young person mentoring and family support service.
A further support and outdoor learning programme, suitable for young people (16-24 years old) who are Not in Employment, Education or Training.
For young people aged 13-24 who want to develop a deeper connection to nature and put their wilderness skills into action.
