Bristol Inclusive Climbing

Bristol Inclusive Climbing is a charity that provides young people with disabilities the chance to participate in regular 1:1 rock climbing sessions to increase well-being, confidence, and self-esteem.

Working with passionate volunteers, we remove barriers between young people and climbing.

We run sessions every week in the same location, providing a consistent and predictable experience.

Learn more about about how we’re structured below…

 

Our sessions

Our team of friendly volunteers are well equipped to support younger people with disabilities and impairments. We’re able to ensure 1:1 support in our sessions as default and can up the volunteers depending on the needs of the young person. This means we can be super flexible with the people we work with.

No matter what the situation, get in touch and we’re confident we’ll be able to help one way or another.

Busy session last night! Had to run around every corner of the centre to find our climbers 😅 Sessions booked out in a record 3 minutes today, but if you missed out, keep checking back as we’ll be adding sessions sporadically through the month

Tom and Charlie here taking photos of the session. Swipe to see the climbers if you even care about them, otherwise just stick the first pic for the best dynamic due since scooby and shaggy

Our Volunteers

We wouldn’t be able to make our roped climbing sessions work without the help from our volunteers.

We have a group of like-minded, experienced, enthusiastic people from Bristol and the surrounding areas. They’re all passionate about sharing the benefits of climbing and enriching our community.

All of them have been trained to ensure we all stay safe on the wall and have fun along the way.

We’re always training up new volunteers to help us grow.

Check out our volunteering page for information about the people doing the real hard work and to join the team if you’re interested.

 

We depend on donations to keep things going. If you want to support the work we do consider donating using the button below.
