The objectives of the Cameron Grant Memorial Trust are to: raise awareness of young suicide, to urge all who are suffering in silence to speak up and ask for help, and to support young people who are fighting to overcome poor mental health, especially where this can be done through outdoor activities like hill-walking and The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award which Cameron enjoyed so much.The Cameron Grant Memorial Trust is registered with the Charities Commission (registered charity number 1167221) and our homepage is www.camgrant.org.uk
