Community Programmes engage young people in
alternative sport/exercise through the use of climbing and outdoor
related activities. The activities are used as a social tool to
encourage young people to communicate, trust, build confidence
and increase self-esteem. All those who attend gain new skills
that they can later apply to their everyday environment. The projects
provide diversionary tactics to support those who are at risk
of offending. The ADDventure Community Programmes enable young
people to take part in activities that they were previously socially/economically
excluded from and create new opportunities for young people from
all areas, especially those from deprived wards.
