Harris Trust

About

Harris Trust aims to increase awareness around mental health and neurodiversity issues for children and young people. We provide activities which include mini rugby sessions, a music programme in Scottish Borders schools and outdoor learning opportunities. We work closely with schools, Selkirk rugby club and the MacArts music venue in Galashiels. We recruit young adults, many of whom are neurodivergent, to work on our projects and provide training for these roles in collaboration with YouthBorders. We use social media and our website to promote our activities. Our main annual fundraiser is the Lilliesleaf 10k Run/Walk which attracts around 200 participants.
