Scott and Cate from The Brathay Trust

This week, Scott and Cate captivated us with an update on the Brathay Trust and their pivotal work with disadvantaged children and young people across Cumbria. From their base at Brathay Hall in Ambleside, they’re steering into an exhilarating phase with new leadership by CEO Tracy Jenkins. Their focus is sharper than ever on their essential mission amidst overcoming economic hurdles and infrastructural enhancements. The presentation also shed light on their Youth Matters initiative, aimed at fostering mental resilience, physical wellbeing, employability, and community involvement among the youth.

Partnering with local entities, Brathay Trust has created a vibrant platform for physical activities and volunteering, significantly impacting young lives. Moreover, their fundraising efforts, including marathon events, underscore the community’s role in sustaining these initiatives. In a show of robust community engagement, we had 21 members attend, celebrated generating £4942 from previous referrals, and welcomed 15 new referrals this week, demonstrating our collective commitment to making a difference.
