I work for iDID Adventure which is an award-winning social organisation promoting the positive use of adventure sports to improve resilience, well-being & confidence amongst marginalised individuals. At iDID, we believe that everyone should have access to services which support their mental health. Our unique programmes use adventure sports as an engagement tool to improve well-being, confidence and self-esteem in marginalised young people.
In the past iDID has run a range of clubs including climbing, wake board and snowboarding. Our specialist programmes promote positive well-being by concentrating on particular self-development issues such as mental health, leadership, or rehabilitation. Feeling valued in society can have a huge impact on an individual’s well-being and many social groups who face isolation can become more susceptible to mental health issues. Since 2012 we have helped over 500 young people via our programmes. We have received fantastic feedback:
“My daughter had literally climbed out of depression, making new friends and, with the help of her iDID mentors, has made strides both physically and mentally to emerge from a very dark cloud. We couldn’t recommend it enough. Having the space to climb without the pressure of a team, social or communications barriers, whilst giving a sense of worth, belonging and value has made her confidence grow massively.”
We work in some of the most deprived areas of the UK, such as Corby which has one of the fastest population growths in the country but is the most deprived area in the county, with the highest number of LSOAs in the top 20% most deprived in the country when compared to the rest of the county. There is proof that there is a direct correlation between high levels of deprivation and health and wellbeing outcome, for individuals and communities. Corby’s SEN population forms 9.9% of Northamptonshire’s total SEN population and as such has 15 special needs schools but a lack of support for those with mental health issues within the community.
