With over 30,000 climbing sessions per annum, the Centre serves a very wide catchment area—from Dundee, north to Inverness and beyond.

Key Opportunities Bouldering Wall Development Transition Extreme have a planned development to add capacity to the existing bouldering wall and in turn rejuvenate the existing wall design. Bouldering as a climbing discipline offers more freedom to individuals to train, develop and explore their potential. It is not limited to the hardcore elite and can cater for young and old, beginner and veteran.To keep up with market demand and ahead of the trend in popularity of bouldering as a standalone sport we are committed to expand and develop our activity provision. Development of a new Bouldering area and title sponsorship for a 3 year period is available for the sum of £10,000 + VAT.

Skatepark Development Our World Class Skatepark built in 2007 has been hugely popular with Skateboarders, BMXers and Inliners on a national and international level with visitors travelling from as far as the USA to experience the cutting edge design. Since then many other parks have been built or adapted to follow suit. Now it is time for Transition Extreme to lead the way once more by investing in a park wide redevelopment to enhance the design, flow and quality. Redevelopment of the Skatepark in line with customer demand, including title sponsorship of new features for a period of 3 years is now available, price range from £10,000 to £20,000 + VAT dependent on extent of redevelopment/

Low Ropes Development Through our proposed low ropes activities clients will experience high quality team building and challenge sessions. A combination of team activities and individual tasks throughout the course will test participants’ ability to interact, use their own initiative and find ways to problem solve both on their own and as part of a group using trust, communication and adaptability. This activity provision will greatly add to our existing High Ropes course and offer an additional or stand alone activity. It’s not just for adult teams however; whether young or old, a formal team or a group of friends, the course will entertain and challenge all who seek to push their boundaries. Development of a new Low Ropes facility and title sponsorship for a 3 year period is available for between £10,000 and £20,000 + VAT

We recognise that continuous improvement to our facilities is critical to our ongoing success – both in terms of retaining and growing our customer base as well as further enhancing the Centre.

Renewable Energy Solutions Transition Extreme recently engaged with Energy Saving Trust to produce an energy efficiency report for the centre. The report detailed a number of options for the facility to reduce overheads and improve energy efficiency by adopting green energy solutions, such as PV roof panelling and motion sensitive lighting. We are now seeking a partner to support the introduction of these green energy solutions in line with your company’s renewable energy strategy. In return we are offering the opportunity to profile your company through brand signage and association with supporting a well known and successful local charity. We would welcome contact and further discussion with any interested parties.

The TX Alternative Academy is a 12 week,full-time alternative development programme for young people aged between 15 and 18. Developed with Robert Gordon University, it is aimed at young people who were currently, or at risk of becoming, disengaged from traditional forms of education. This programme aims to re-engage participants through aesthetic learning experiences with unique and dynamic activities over a 12 week period, increasing participants’ confidence and motivation, and assisting them in progressing onto a positive destination.

Over 100 young people have already participated in our Alternative Academy programmes, with 91% of graduates moving onto a positive destination, whether that is back to school, further training or employment. We also successfully operate a 2 day per week version of the programme for those furthest removed from education or employment (The TX Extreme Academy) and are extending our scope of operations by offering the TX Outreach Academy for young people across Aberdeenshire.

“My son would give up and walk away from anything that was difficult before the Alternative Academy but now he has a real determination to succeed, belief in himself and a clear sense of direction in what he wants to do andhow to achieve it” (Parent of Graduate 2011).

Funding opportunities in the rangeof £10,000 – £60,000 are available

Having gone through a tough period earlier in her family life and caught up in a downward spiral of taking drugs, drinking alcohol and increasingly anti-social behaviour, Charlotte left school and became unemployed without any clear idea of what she wanted to do.

Whilst she had achieved some qualifications, she hated the experience of formal education and described herself as “a bit of a brat” when there. She had an interest in sport, and as such the Alternative Academy seemed an exciting opportunity for her to consider, and was encouraged by her social worker to pursue this.

During the 12 weeks Charlotte engaged with all aspects of the programme, becoming a very competent climber and gaining fantasticexperiences and qualifications. She also coped admirably with the fact that she was the only girl in a group of 12, motivating and encouraging her fellow participants to overcome their fears, just as she was. Charlotte had a real anxiety about public speaking, but bythe end of the programme was able to stand up in front of an audience - which included her friends and family - and present on her

experiences of the programme during her graduation ceremony at the Town and County Hall.

On graduating from the Alternative Academy programme, Charlotte moved on the Prince’s Trust Programme at AberdeenFoyer. She then undertook a 14 week placement as a painter and decorator, and then was successful in gaining anapprenticeship in painting and decorating with Dyce and District.

Charlotte said “Without the Alternative Academy I would not have gained my apprenticeship. It gave me theconfidence to try new things, like the Prince’s Trust Programme and painting and decorating, as well as a betterCV. The Alternative Academy is awesome!”

Transition Extreme focuses on delivering outreach programmes which provide sports coaching to young people within regeneration areas of Aberdeen City and Shire. This involves the successful regeneration of existing skate-park facilities, which can then be utilised by the local community to ensure constructive diversionary activities.

Extreme Youth Club is an initiative that provides a unique and exciting activity for young people from Aberdeen’s regeneration areas.

Transition was originally approached by Grampian Police, who highlighted the need for safe, fun and educational activities, at times of high anti-social behaviour. Youth disorder, underage drinking and anti-social behaviour have increased dramatically in the past 2 years therefore, in consultation with Grampian Police, we are targeting key areas. These include Torry, Mastrick, Northfield and Tillydrone. This not only open up positive recreational opportunities, it will help build members’ confidence, social skills and promote a healthy lifestyle whilst providing vital diversionaryactivities.

The Extreme Youth Club runs on a Saturday evening from 6pm – 8pm, for young people aged 10 to 15 years old. They will be given the opportunity and encouraged to try a new sport such as: Skateboarding, BMXing, inline skatingand rock climbing.

By providing these young people with a healthy diversion, including highly trained staff, we aim to address the needs identified by Grampian Police and other partner agencies, including local Youth Workers.

Funding opportunity of £25,000 per annum is available.
