Urban Uprising is a non-profit charity empowering disadvantaged children through climbing

So why climbing? It's an innovative and engaging way of connecting with young people to provide personal development, community, trust, healthy living, positive role models and empowerment.

This is what the young people who did our programmes this year said about their experiences learning to climb and learning about themselves 🤟

Tomorrow, a group of over 60 wonderful Urban Uprising supporters are walking or climbing Ben Nevis to fundraise so that we can continue to deliver these life changing opportunities to young people who otherwise would not have these experiences 🙏

Our first programme at The Climbing Hangar Edinburgh has come to an end with this fantastic feedback from Larysa at AUGB Edinburgh:
'The young people became more confident, engaged, and willing to take part in activities over the course of the programme. They developed stronger friendships, supported one another, and showed greater resilience when facing challenges. Many participants who were initially quiet or hesitant became more comfortable expressing themselves and trying new activities.'

Thank you Giulia and Moira for volunteering with this group, which included some of the young people we first worked with in 2023!

Thank you to Dhruv, Jai, Brian and Deborah from The Climbing Hangar for your instruction and support of the group as they learned to climb or built on their existing skills 🙌

Thank you once again to Edge Photography for capturing these moments 📸

Our group from Park Mains High School had their outdoor session at The Glasgow Climbing Centre because the weather was not playing fair but Robert from ClimbScotland made it an epic day regardless 😁

Thank you to Moira for volunteering with this group and supporting them to become confident enough to take on lead climbing 🤩
