NB: Photos on this page are from our general public tree climbing sessions & do not depict social enterprise clients.
This is due to confidentiality with regard to exclusionary barriers faced by those clients.
Our new project in 2025 offers
FREE
tree climbing sessions
to
eligible adults 16+
generously funded by
The Glasgow Council
for the Voluntary Sector
Wellbeing Fund
Our funded places are for people who are experiencing challenges & disadvantages that impede their access to wellbeing activities
We welcome applications from, but not limited to, the following:
community groups
statutory organisations
colleges & adult education institutions
community leaders
We recognise that exclusionary barriers sometimes mean that individuals may not be represented by a group or organisation
Therefore we also welcome & encourage applications from self-referring adults
Eligibility
for
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 sometimes connected to the effects of poverty & deprivation, & may be exacerbated by other difficulties such as disabilities, neurodiversity, mental health challenges, additional support needs, drug & alcohol issues, poor educational engagement, refugee status or membership of a marginalised community,
​
Some examples of the intersectional challenges that eligible clients may face are listed below. However we want to provide opportunities for ALL ADULTS facing challenges & barriers which limit their access to wellbeing activities so this list is not exhaustive.
​
-
poverty & deprivation
-
additional support needs & disabilities
-
refugee or asylum status & challenges around integration
-
membership of a community experiencing complex intersectional challenges due to prejudice, e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQ+

-
neurodiversity
-

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.
If you require any further information then please contact Graeme at info@treetoprocks.co.uk
