We provide accessible opportunities to support physical development and improved mental health for individuals and communities that would not normally be able to partake. Through challenging urban adventure courses; we: • Engage communities in different and exciting ways to an active lifestyle to develop and stimulate good physical and mental wellbeing. • Provide opportunities for those harder to reach groups to engage – across all age groups- helping to raise aspirations and a desire to achieve. • Nurture talent and enterprise with creative teambuilding programmes. Now that we have a clear roadmap and can resume activity we will commence several programmes that support a number of outcomes. Developing life and employability skills – We are about to deliver a co-designed project to support young people aged 18-24 in ‘assisted housing’ identified as NEET. We will be supporting them achieve accredited level 1 NICAS (National Indoor Climbing Accreditation Scheme) climbing award over a period of 8 weeks, combining structured climbing sessions with wrap around job coaching and budget management skills, delivered alongside The Princes Trust and Department for Work & Pensions. Building Stronger Communities – with support from CFFC we have part delivered the ‘Try it you Might Like It! ’ project – aimed at families within deprived communities that allows children to take part in physical activities alongside their parents/carers. Partial data has identified, engaging in family centred activities has really helped the families to understand better, the importance or physical activity and nutrition. Working closely with local schools has enabled us to pilot this programme with the ‘Better Living Team’ at Calderdale, with a view to working in more and varied communities across the summer months, using active urban adventure as a catalyst to improving physical activity within the family unit and within communities. Mental Health – ROKT Foundation is working with Bee Quirky, a mental health not for profit organisation working in local schools within Calderdale. The co-created, 8 week programme supports children aged 8-10 that have experienced some form of trauma with emotional support, giving them core skills and guidance to help understand their emotions, create positive mindset and build future resilience. As part of a wider programme, 30 children will partake in a climbing and adventure programme helping them to learn about ‘positive fear’, mental and physical challenge and peer support. We are working alongside Calderdale Insight Team with 50 young adults 18-30 with early intervention psychosis, providing a structured programme of rope climbing and bouldering. Research shows climbing has significant benefits for mental health. We will closely monitoring this programme , identifying which participants have grown in confidence and those willing to engage in further training, development and volunteering opportunities. We are keen to support mental health across all ages and with this in mind, we are in the process of trying to secure further funding to work with Invictus Wellbeing to support young people aged 12-17 with early intervention mental health issues to support a summer programme.
