Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We have run up to 8 monthly socials around the country, reaching over 200 people. We’ve hosted a fun competition, drawing paraclimbers from around the country together to try routes tailored to their disabilities. We’ve further built community connections over our Discord server. We’ve been in contact with numerous organisations to help them become more accessible to paraclimbers. We were rated 4.8/5 stars on our feedback form, with 100% of people saying we have helped broken down barriers that prevented them from climbing, and many saying we improved their mental health, confidence, reduced loneliness, and helped connect them to the paraclimbing community as well the wider climbing & disability communities. |
