This programme is exclusive to individuals who are involved with Scottish Justice System Supports individuals currently involved in the Scottish justice system who want to make positive and sustained changes that can lead to a move away from offending.

• Currently have a Justice Social Worker After an assessment period we offer regular community-based outreach support wrapped around a Wilderness Journey usually in the Scotland - Highlandss of Scotland. Through intensive learning and personal development individuals will consolidate their new skills, boost confidence, motivation and aspirations. This will allow individuals to tackle complex circumstances and patterns of behaviour and tackle reoffending and help with rehabilitation. Nature offers inherent challenges for people to reflect on beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours. Adapting to this new environment, resilience is increased, participants develop understanding of how to interact others, and improve impulse control in challenging situations. Activities in nature provide opportunities to practice this learning. Our services provide support for up to 9 months helping individuals to make and sustain connections to services and employment, education, training or volunteering opportunities within their communities.

The Venture Trust inspires and supports positive change through outdoor learning and personal development for vulnerable people across Scotland.
