REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 20 NOVEMBER 2022
Trustees’ Report, Climb 2 Recovery
The Trustees are pleased to present their report and accounts for the period 21 November 2021 to 20 November 2022.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity is controlled by its governing document dated 30 June 2019.
The recruitment of trustees is undertaken by the Board of Trustees. They will recruit a person who is willing to act as a trustee and has an interest in the activities, beneficiaries, and ultimate success of the charity.
Objectives and activities
We have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and planning future activities.
Climb 2 Recovery uses a combination of bespoke climbing and mountaineering courses alongside formal Mountain Training courses and qualifications. Mountain Training is the governing body for UK climbing and mountaineering training. Our courses are designed to support Armed Forces personnel (retired and serving) who have been affected by military service using the established therapeutic effects of climbing and the outdoor environment. The charities focus is on resettlement, reintegration, reinforcing a sense of value and belonging and ensuring that the true friendship that service personnel know, continues long after their service career. We provide tangible experiences, expert training and career building opportunities all in a supportive and unique environment. Individuals involved with Climb 2 Recovery can also develop their skills to gain nationally recognised instructor qualifications.
We offer courses ranging from complete beginner up to sponsoring the awarding the nationally recognised Instructor qualifications, including; Rock Climbing Instructor, Mountain Leader, Rock Climbing Development Instructor, Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor, Industrial Rope Access Training Association Level 1 operator, and First Aid certification. In addition, we offer our beneficiaries the opportunity to participate in overseas events including ‘sports Climbing’ in Spain and our introduction to Alpine climbing course based in Chamonix, France. All courses are provided free of charge to our veteran participants. Climb 2 Recovery is also able to loan specialist climbing equipment to competent beneficiaries.
Achievements and Performance
This is Climb 2 Recovery’s sixth year of delivering activity and third year as a registered charity.
Organisationally we remain a small and committed team, just our CEO, Operations Manager and, new for 2022, a Grants and Impact Manager alongside the Board of Trustees. More recently our

governance, risk and operational framework has allowed us to greatly expand the breadth, frequency, reach and impact of our programme.
During the last six years we have provided life-changing climbing and mountaineering opportunities to seriously wounded, injured, sick, disabled and disadvantaged service people and veterans. The majority of whom have remained engaged with us long-term, and have gained or are working towards professional leadership qualifications fully sponsored through our programme.
Overall, this has helped to improve the broader rehabilitation and recovery of our members, bringing people back from the brink by giving them hope, a community, friendship and many adventures. We are excited at the growing body of academic evidence that proves this relationship: between climbing and mountaineering and vastly improved self-confidence, self-esteem, happiness, physical fitness, psychological health and life outlook. Climb 2 Recovery is making a contribution to this research with academics at a UK University.
