After an incredibly successful event in 2021, where we invited young people for a two hour Top-Rope and Bouldering session with Adidas Terrex, I am thrilled to announce our newest climbing initiative.

 

Whist it is important to run exciting, one-off opportunities for children to experience the joys of climbing, I often wonder how fair it is, to give such a wonderful gift and then take it away again. 

The reality is, the chances are slim that any of the children will get to participate in the sport again until they are at least 16, or can find a suitable adult to pay and accompany them on further climbing trips. 

 

To try and combat this issue, we have set up something that will last a little longer, and hopefully give those who enjoyed climbing so much they just HAVE to go again, a place to go!

Brookes has generously donated 6 months worth of fully instructed, drop-in sessions with all equipment rent included!

Project One will be providing transport to/from the facility, and moral support during the sessions, for young people from BlackBird Leys and the wider East Oxford Area. 

 

We hope that by providing consistent and free access to qualified, insured and DBS checked instructors, we will be able to create a wonderful pathway with the help of proffesional knowledge and experience, into careers within climbing and the outdoor/extreme sports industries. 

 

We will be sharing blogs with updates from the events so please keep an eye on the website/instagram account for new posts!

 

Thank you again to Brookes for giving us such an incredible opportunity to positively impact the lives of some very important people.
