    The Youth Adventure Trust empowers young people

A charity using outdoor adventure to empower young people in Swindon and Wiltshire is being helped by a firm of solicitors.

Wiltshire-based Goughs Solicitors are offering to write not-for-profit discounted Wills throughout February as part of their Charity of the Year partnership with the Youth Adventure Trust.  

The trust's Youth Adventure Programme helps young people to fulfil their potential and lead positive lives.

Goughs says its scheme involves wills - both single and joint - being offered at a 50 percent discount, with all proceeds being donated to the Youth Adventure Trust. This means that a single basic will costs only £175 plus VAT  and a married couple's will costs £225 plus VAT.

The Youth Adventure Programme, which spans three school years, is described as a genuinely life changing opportunity, giving young people the chance to build resilience, develop confidence and learn skills that will last a lifetime. 

The trust helps up to 360 young people a year develop these key skills through the challenge of outdoor adventure. Each young person is supported to build on their personal strengths through individualised support and feedback, enabling them to become reflective, see their abilities and challenge themselves to develop in the ways which will help them in the long term.

The YAT Wills Scheme encourages supporters to include a gift to Youth Adventure Trust in their Will by using this service, although this is not essential. 

By leaving a gift to the charity, people leave the gift of adventure to inspire young lives.

People wishing to take advantage of the offer are invited to email [email protected], and quote the YAT Wills scheme when making their appointment.

The offer is subject to Terms and Conditions. A maximum of 40 Wills can be made in the scheme.
