Help Us Reach New Heights: Rebuild Belfast ALP for Future Generations

For over 35 years, Belfast Activity Centre (BAC) has been a beacon of hope, growth, and adventure for tens of thousands of young people across Belfast. At the heart of this legacy is Belfast ALP—our Adventure Learning Park, constructed in 2007 as a safe, neutral, and inspiring space where young people and their mentors explore the transformative power of outdoor adventure.

Now, we need your help to take the next leap.

🎯 Our Goal: A New Climbing Wall, Multi-Sensory Wall & Low Ropes Course

The current climbing wall has served us well, but it's time for a bold upgrade. We're launching a campaign to replace our aging climbing facility with a brand-new experiential zone, including a low ropes course designed to challenge, inspire, and empower.

This new facility will:

🌟 Introduce young people to climbing, caving, and rope-based challenges in a simulated natural environment

🤝 Foster teamwork, trust, respect, and communication

🧠 Build mental resilience and physical fitness

🏫 Provide teachers, youth workers, and community leaders with training and tools to engage young people from all backgrounds

💬 Why It Matters

Belfast ALP is more than just a climbing wall—it's a launchpad for life. It’s where:

A shy teenager discovers confidence on the high ropes

A youth worker builds trust with a group through shared challenge

A school group from different communities comes together in a neutral, welcoming space

Our activities—from the leap of faith to abseiling, fan descender, and vertical challenges—are designed to push boundaries and unlock potential. And with the addition of a low ropes course, we’ll be able to offer even more inclusive, accessible experiences for all ages and abilities.

💚 Your Impact

By supporting this campaign, you’re not just funding a climbing wall—you’re investing in:

Healthier lifestyles for young people

Stronger communities built on shared experience

Opportunities for personal and social development

A future where every young person in the province has access to adventure, regardless of background or ability
