Low Ropes Course Refurbished at Leeds Children’s Charity

New Accessible Facility Aims to Support Children’s Development

The low ropes course at Leeds Children’s Charity’s Lineham Farm has undergone a complete refurbishment, resulting in a modern, safe, and fully accessible facility. The upgrade is intended to provide enhanced opportunities for children and young people who visit the centre each year.

Improved Accessibility and Inclusivity

The refurbishment was made possible with support from Yorkshire Charity Clay Days. The new course replaces older equipment with a design focused on accessibility and inclusivity, allowing children of varying abilities to participate. The course encourages teamwork and enables participants to progress at their own pace.

Supporting Personal Growth and Resilience

The upgraded low ropes course is expected to help children develop new skills, overcome fears, and foster mutual support through shared challenges. For many disadvantaged and vulnerable children supported by Leeds Children’s Charity, such experiences contribute to building resilience, trust, and self-belief, while also creating positive memories.

Commitment to Children Facing Hardship

Leeds Children’s Charity works to improve the lives of children and young people facing difficult circumstances. Investments like the low ropes course refurbishment are part of the charity’s ongoing efforts to provide high-quality, inclusive environments that promote wellbeing and personal development.

Statements from the Charity

• Lisa Williams, Head of Fundraising at Leeds Children’s Charity, said the refurbished course “has completely transformed what we can offer our children.”
