A team of 19 volunteers from JP Morgan joined us at Ardroy for a busy day of practical work, helping care for the buildings and outdoor spaces that support our residential experiences.
Organised by Friends of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs through its Make a Difference Day programme, the visit brought the volunteers together with our maintenance team to tackle a range of jobs around the centre.
From treating outdoor furniture and installing fence posts to painting educational spaces and repairing windows in the old house, the team brought enthusiasm and energy to every task.
As a charity, support like this means a great deal to Ardroy. Looking after our centre is an ongoing job, and the volunteers’ contribution helps us maintain a welcoming place for the schools, youth groups and other visitors who come here.
There was also time to experience a little of what Ardroy offers. A Jacob’s Ladder team-building challenge gave the volunteers a chance to support one another, test themselves and enjoy one of our outdoor activities.
Ardroy has been providing outdoor education on the shores of Loch Goil since 1969. Helping people build confidence, resilience and skills for life remains at the heart of our work, and days like this show how others can play a part in supporting it.
Our thanks go to everyone from JP Morgan who took part, to Friends of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs for organising the day, and to our maintenance team for helping coordinate the work.
The Make a Difference Day programme supports practical conservation, heritage and environmental improvement projects across Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. We were delighted to be part of it.
