Swap Smokes for Ropes

Swap Smokes For Ropes!

We launched a joint campaign to say let climbing help you quit smoking, get healthy and find a new rush.

NHS Yorkshire Smokefree Calderdale joined forces with ROKT Foundation, Creative Minds and Brighouse Mind & Body to craft a course like no other – where climbing, mindfulness and NHS support will help you quit.

And find a new (healthier addiction). Don’t worry, climbing is for everyone, any ability and any level.

Go as high as you can – and we’ll give you the confidence to reach heights you never thought possible. For more information email info@roktfoundation.co.uk

Girls’ Empowerment

Thanks to funding from The Mayor of West Yorkshire, we have created another ground-breaking new programme, this time around girls’ empowerment.

Combining climbing, boxing and police intervention, we are making a difference to the lives of girls and women – building self-esteem, discipline and confidence.

Thanks to Brighouse Boxing Club, Ryburn Valley High School and funding from the Mayor of West Yorkshire.

Drums, Beats and Blocs

Zulu drumming, caving and music were on the menu for kids at our latest ROKT Foundation Healthy Holidays programme this summer 2024.

Healthy eating, rope climbing, bouldering, abseiling and escape rooms were of course all packed in too (plus some karate!).

Here’s a taste of the climbing, drumming and caving which our fab kids experienced.
