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. We partner with sports centres to keep the activity safe and regulated.

The reason we do this is because just four in 10 (40%) disabled people feel they are not 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. As far as we are aware, we are the first organisation to offer inclusive adventure sports on a regular basis in the South West.

Following the Pandemic, we relaunched sessions in March 2022, and over the reporting period, offered weekly sessions on Thursday evenings.

Our rock-climbing sessions involve a participant and trained volunteers who help to facilitate their climb, although most of the sessions take place on a 1:1 ratio of climbers to volunteers, this can go up to as much as 4 volunteers to one climber, if needed. These sessions take place weekly in a local indoor rockclimbing 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.

As of the time of writing we do not make or provide any grants as a charity. This may change in the future.

Financial Review

Statement of the Charity's Policy on Reserves

The Trustees declare that with the small financial footprint the charity had during this period it is not deemed a necessity to write a policy on reserves.

Details of Any Funds Materially in Deficit

The Trustees declare that the charity had no funds which were materially in deficit at the date of the statement of assets & liabilities.

State of the Charity’s Finances

The main sources of income for our charity have been through fundraising & grants.

We do not make profit from parents/carers booking onto our sessions, but they do have the option to add an additional donation to their booking fee, which helps cover the cost of running the charity.

This year, we applied for 3 grants to help us cover the costs going forward, with a large focus on volunteer training, recruitment and retention.

During this period, we switched bank accounts from HSBC to Metrobank. This was a joint trustee decision and the return we have provided covers both accounts.

As trustees, we also made the joint decision to claim fuel expenses for travelling to and from climbing sessions at 0.45p per mile as per government guidelines.

We recieved the following funding:

£8000 from The Hargreaves Foundation (restricted)

£3500 from The National Lottery (restricted)

£268 from The Together Fund (unrestricted)

There have been no unexpected changes to our initial plans that were created during the charity’s inception.

Restricted Funds

£8000 from the Hargreaves Foundation, to cover some running costs, but also volunteer recruitment and retention. Including additional training for volunteers which will help us offer sessions for participants with more complex needs. This grant lasts until January 2026.

£3500 from the National Lottery to cover general running costs.
