ClimbOut may look professional but it’s run entirely by community volunteers.
We want to keep that spirit alive, creating a space where we all own and create what ClimbOut means.
We know that our attendees have skills, knowledge and their own community work going on, we want to share that!
There are two elements to the community programme: Community Activities and the Community Stand. Any festival attendee (or group) can volunteer for these elements.
Community Activities
Want to share an activity, passion or skill with your fellow attendees? Looking for the support to do it in a designated space for 30-60 minutes? Community Activities are your space.
Past examples include mindfulness, board game hosting, a campfire sing-a-long and cyanotype (a craft activity).
This year’s could involve leading a nature walk, a star gaze, a dance – all ideas are welcome!
Principles of Community Activities
- Free to attend
- Accessible to as many people as possible
(participant numbers can be capped and we can support you in meeting access needs) - Lasting 30-60 minutes
What You Need To Do
Fill in the application form with all the details of your activity, your experience. We also need to know whether you need any support and how many people can attend.
Note
- If your activity involves any risk to participants we will assess this, some activities may require qualification / insurance
- The social programme is supported entirely by volunteers. We may be able to help with the cost of simple materials
The Community Stand
The Community Stand is a space to share materials and information that will benefit the ClimbOut Community. Previous occupants have included various LGBT+ climbing clubs, Trash Free Trails and Dandelion DIY (HRT drug harm reduction). It is perfect for:
- Groups that want to display information about their work
- Groups (or individuals) who want to host an informal slot, where they display information and are available to talk about their work
What we can provide
- A covered space
- Table, chairs
- Talk to us if you need something else and we’ll see what we can do
