Step-Up is a new community-focused  project that will see development of a low ropes course at Ardentinny Outdoor Centre, designed to enhance the centre’s existing outdoor learning programme and support a new employability scheme targeting young people and individuals facing barriers to work. The course will provide a safe, structured environment for developing teamwork, communication, and confidence.

The low ropes course will:

  • Feature a series of ground-level and near-ground challenges (e.g., balance beams, rope bridges, swinging logs).
  • Be designed to require cooperation, problem-solving, and leadership.

This ropes course is part of a wider employability programme that will:

  • Engage young people (16–25), long-term unemployed individuals, and others with barriers to employment.
  • Offer accredited training in teamwork, leadership, communication, and health and safety.

Participants will gain:

  • Confidence and resilience through physical and mental challenges.
  • Teamwork skills through facing challenges and working with others
  • Pathways into further training, volunteering, or employment within outdoor education or related fields.
