Eligibility

Fully Funded Climbing Places
We support adults age 16+ experiencing challenges & disadvantages which are curtailing their access to well-being activities & contributing to isolation, loneliness, depression & low self-esteem.
These challenges are often connected to the effects of poverty & deprivation, & may be exacerbated by other difficulties such as disabilities, additional support needs, drug & alcohol issues, poor educational engagement & refugee status
Some examples of the intersectional challenges that eligible clients may face are:
-
poverty & deprivation
-
additional support needs & disabilities
-
refugee or asylum status & challenges around integration
-
poor educational engagement
-
care experience
-
depression, isolation & mental health challenges
-
status as a carer
-
homelessness or vulnerably housed status

While we process your form, go ahead & choose your preferred time & date. Book the number of spaces you want using the online booking calendar & instructions in the next section down the page.
Once your application is processed, we will get in touch with you & confirm your session.
However....
If your group exceeds 7 people, then get in touch by phone or email rather than using the booking calendar, so we can work out the logistics together!
Fill in & upload the risk acknowledgment document for each climber by clicking the blue banner below
Community group leaders or service providers may fill these out for under 18s in their care. If your group exceeds 4 people, you will need to upload multiple copies.
Please note that the risk acknowledgment document is not the same as the risk assessment. If you require a copy of the latter, it is available by emailing Phoebe at info@treetoprocks.co.uk
Check the map for King's Park below & arrive 5 minutes before the start of your session. Please ensure you arrive on time as there will be other participants climbing alongside you.
Booking Calendar & Instructions for Use
_edited.png)
Our King's Park tree fits 7 climbers per session, however we can run up to 5 sessions in a day (= 35 people per day)
We also have another site in Boden Boo woods where we work with 2 adjacent trees meaning 14 people can climb per hour (= capacity 70 clients per day)
If you have a very large group, we can run consecutive sessions, over several hours or multiple dates.
So we can ensure as many people as possible are accommodated in the first run of sessions we are initially allowing one booking per participating climber (however, a referring support worker may refer multiple clients). We hope to expand on this in due course & will inform interested parties as soon as we are able to accommodate further sessions.
