Story
Urban Uprising is a charity that uses rock climbing to improve the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of young people, disadvantaged by poverty/health/social inequalities.
We formed a team to fundraise by doing the Rough Runner 10k obstacle course and we completed our challenge!
*Check out the photos of us on the course below.*
It was no walk in the park. There was blood, sweat, tears, sore legs, and laughter. We gave it our all and we are asking for a little giving from you also. This page won't be open for much longer so please donate now while it is still live. :)
It's a hard life for many young people today. Poverty and poor mental health, coupled with diminishing services has meant the demand for Urban Uprising’s unique and powerful programme is greater than the charity can currently meet financially.
Urban Uprising has done some great work with the limited resources they have, inspiring and elevating young people. However they have the potential to do so much more.
The money raised will help Urban Uprising run more programmes and reach more at-risk young people. We need your help. By donating you can be part of the solution.
“Climbing made me feel accomplished” – Tallia
“It is great to see the children’s confidence in themselves grow week by week. The Volunteer Coach was great in connecting with the kids and helped them work on their resilience. When reflecting on the programme with my pupils, they told me they can feel a change in their fitness levels, their resilience and their self esteem” – Mrs Wilson, School Teacher
Thanks for your support!
