Abseil Millers Dale bridge · 12 September 2009

We are a charity providing educational outdoor adventure activities for disadvantaged and disabled young people of all abilities. Our main focus is children with special needs including young people with autism, Asperges Syndrome, Downs Syndrome, the hearing and vision impaired and a range of physically disabled young people including wheelchair users. Many of our young people suffer from one or more of the above. We also run courses for disadvantaged primary and secondary school children from mainstream schools in poor inner city areas. Our aim is to ensure that all young people, regardless of ability, special need or disadvantage, are given the opportunity to experience quality outdoor education, in a safe environment, to improve not only their physical fitness but their confidence and self esteem to enable them to meet the challenges of everyday life, today and in the future. We have recently completed an all weather wheelchair friendly sports area and upgraded the entrance paths to our sensory garden to make wheelchair access easier. Our next challenge is to raise the funds to build a state of the art indoor climbing wall with unique and specific provision for non ambulent youngsters, which will demonstrate to other organisations and individuals what we at Dukes Barn already know, that being physically disabled does not mean being excluded from exciting and healthily competitive sporting pastimes.

Story

90 ft abseil on 12th September 2009

We did it!!!!! Thank you all for sponsoring us.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are raising money for Dukes Barn, a charity based in the Chatworth estate which provides climbing adventures for disabled people. We are raising money for a new climbing wall.

We abseilled off Millers Dale  bridge over a fast river. It was 90 ft not 80ft!. We are all made it down! What's more we even enjoyed it.

Thanks again

Caroline, Bex, Sam and Nick
