Description
The Tide Climbing Centre is a family friendly, state of the art climbing gym in north Cornwall, 7 miles from Wadebridge. We cater for all sorts of climbing and are in the unique position to offer both bouldering and rope climbing under one roof.
We have over 100 bouldering problems for you to try, as well as 22 lines and 4 auto belay points. Our mission is to position The Tide Climbing Centre at the forefront of inclusive climbing in the South West. We offer a range of taster sessions, inductions and 1-to-1 coaching sessions to help climbers of all abilities access and progress within the sport.
This Project is to utilise an area of our 'barn' building and create a specific sensory area for kids and adults who have sensory needs. This will enable to extend our reach to customers who would not feel comfortable in our facility. This space will be created for those who want to engage with our sport in a way that fulfills their needs.
It will be separated from our usual spaces and use special lighting and equipment to create a welcoming environment to users. We have contractors ready to build our sensory area, we have the suppliers to provide us with the equipment needed. We have a supplier ready to install a mezzanine to provde access to this area, we have the ability to project manage and design this space ourselves. I am a business manager and the other director is a project manager in sustainable engineering.
This project will enable us to branch out to schools, children and adults who have sensory needs. Currently we do not have a dedicated space for anyone who experiences anxiety with their extra needs. This space will be the furthest point from our café to help with 'smell sensory avoidance'. The area will be design to help with hyposensitivity 'sensory seeking'. The area will have enough space for individuals to use without being worried about interaction with others.
Once this area is built, we will be able to create a program for children/adults with SEND needs, we will be recognised at the forefront of driving social changes. Breaking down social and ecomonical barriers. We can apply for funding through Sport England to help participants pay for sessions, which will allow low income families the same opportunities as others
The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
