The Youth Adventure Trust
Louise Bird of the Youth Adventure Trust was our speaker on 14/12/15. She has been back in touch and writes: "One of our volunteers has recently written a short article about one of the young people's journeys on the Youth Adventure programme. It is just one of the many success stories that arise from the life changing opportunities we are able to offer vulnerable and disadvantaged young people thanks to our wonderful supporters. We have some exciting times coming up - we're currently working on a plan to increase the number of children we work with from Swindon and are looking forward to celebrating our 25th anniversary next year."  Louise is returning to speak to Club on 12th December.
