Urban Uprising

At Urban Uprising, they give disadvantaged young people the opportunity to transform their futures. Their unique climbing programme gives 8-18-year-olds who face various challenges in life the chance to develop their physical, social and personal strengths with the support and encouragement of highly-trained positive coaches.

The grant from the Weavers’ Company contributed to their core aim of improving physical, social and emotional well being and 30 young people directly benefited.

At first, I didn't want to climb because I was scared. But every week, I got better, and now I feel like I can do things I never thought I could. It's helped me feel more confident in everything. - Young Person, Oasis Academy Brislington

We are incredibly grateful to the Weavers for their support. This funding has allowed us to reach young people who may never have had the opportunity to engage in structured, positive activities. We have seen participants grow in confidence, resilience, and self-belief – skills that will benefit them far beyond climbing. They have been able to take on challenges, support each other, and develop a sense of achievement that many had never experience before. - Ben Campbell - Programme Manager
