Activities, Achievements & Performance
The purpose of our charity is to help to improve the accessibility and inclusion of adventure sports in Bristol and its surrounding areas. We do this by using a pool of open minded and supportive volunteers to run disability and impairment friendly sessions for rock climbing and parkour. We also partner with sports centres which are experts in their field who help to keep the activity safe.
The reason we do this is because just four in 10 (40%) disabled people feel they are given the opportunity to be as active as they would like to be compared with seven in 10 (71%) nondisabled people [Activity Alliance Annual Disability and Activity Survey (January 2020) Published by Activity Alliance, research undertaken by IFF Research]. We saw a gap in the services available and believe we could provide a service which meets the requirements while keeping children safe in the process. That we know of, we are the first organisation to offer inclusive adventure sports on a regular basis in the South West.
Due to the pandemic, we were unable to run sessions during this period, however, we’re intending to relaunch our rock climbing sessions in March 2022, we have no plans to reinstate our parkour sessions at this time.
Our rock-climbing sessions usually involve a participant and a range of 1-4 trained and inducted volunteers who help them during their climb, although most of the sessions take place on a 1:1 ratio of climbers to volunteers. These sessions take place weekly in a local indoor rock-climbing gym on weekday evenings to allow for routine in young disabled peoples’ week.
Our sessions are open to all abilities and ages. Although our primary focus is on providing sessions for young disabled people.
We charge a nominal fee for our sessions, just enough to cover our costs. Compared to the market standard for adventure sports our sessions are incredibly cheap. This means we limit how much we add to the already increased costs for raising a disabled child. This means that we haven’t had to put a considerable amount of our resources into fundraising.
As of the time of writing we do not make or provide any grants as a charity. This may change in the future.
