Company activities and impact

Our purpose is to serve individuals wishing to access climbing facilities, services, and opportunities provided by climbing centres and public outdoor spaces, with particular focus on disabled people and groups facing accessibility barriers. We additionally support indoor climbing walls, coaches, and the wider climbing community to improve accessibility and inclusion. Activities delivered during this financial period: Branding: We created a clear and accessible brand that can be recognisable within the community. Website Development and Database: Building upon our initial, basic database of climbing walls, we reviewed our long term delivery goals during this period. We consulted with paraclimbers with diverse access needs to inform improvements to our database structure and provisions. We invested the year in developing a new website designed to meet the broader needs of our community. This updated platform expands the number of listed walls, provides more detailed accessibility information per venue, and introduces features such as a blog and events pages. We also initiated development on an easy method for climbing wall owners and members of the community to directly input data about walls. While the website was not fully completed within this financial period, the vast majority of development was successfully executed by the end of the year. Inclusion/Representation: Through our social media platforms, we shared information regarding the physical, mental, and social benefits of inclusive climbing and to to show climbing is for all. Accessibility Guidance: To assist indoor climbing walls and climbing coaches, we developed a comprehensive, downloadable Access Guide in collaboration with a partner charitable organisation. This guide provides practical, actionable advice for improving accessibility and inclusion within climbing venues.

Consultation with stakeholders

As our services are built on an open access model, our database and digital resources were made freely available to the public without requiring logins, paywalls, or data capture. This approach was deliberately chosen to ensure zero barriers to entry for disabled climbers and climbing wall owners. Because we deliberately chose to use this model, formal structured consultation tracking and data capture were not implemented during this initial year. However, we engaged with our stakeholders through alternative means: We attended industry events and conferences throughout the year to connect with the community, gauge interest in Access to Climb, and gather qualitative feedback on our services. During the development of our new website and database, we consulted with select groups of paraclimbers to determine what specific accessibility details were most critical to include. This feedback directly shaped our new database structure. We developed a system allowing climbing wall owners and members of the community to directly submit and update information about walls. While this feature will launch with the new website, we hope initial engagement with wall owners will be highly positive, and further information will be available next year. Looking ahead to the next financial year, these channels alongside our social media platforms will be used to conduct more opportunities for consultations. This will ensure our website updates, guides, and areas of focus are directly shaped by the needs of disabled climbers, coaches, and indoor walls.
