Connecting Communities in Climbing

This session is a dedicated space for grassroots leaders, climbing wall staff, volunteers, community organisers, and anyone striving to build stronger, more inclusive communities, particularly for underserved groups within their walls. Whether you're running inclusive sessions, supporting youth, or engaging marginalised communities, this is a space to network, reflect, and share. We'll celebrate successes, explore challenges, and exchange practical ideas from real-world community work.
