Our Mission TOP
To provide a wide range of support to providers - from consultation and research to strategy, implementation, mentoring and technical coaching - to enhance the opportunities to pursue adventure sport and active lifestyles available to people with diverse needs.
Background TOP
Equal Adventure’s origins can be traced to Sheffield Hallam University’s Department of Design with the development of our Kite Harness.
More work was undertaken at Brunel University between 1994 and 2002, supported heavily by Brunel University’s departments of Design, Engineering and Bioengineering. Special heartfelt thanks for their support go to:
- Prof Heinz Wolff
- Prof Ian Sutherland
- Graham Kay
- Vivien Young
- John Burkitt
The Problem of Inclusion in Adventure TOP
For many, gaining meaningful access to sport and adventure opportunities is a greater challenge than the activity itself.
Despite a commitment to equality, mainstream providers of outdoor activity, expeditions and sport are often forced into standard patterns of operation – often leading to exclusion.
Gaining meaningful access requires taking measures that challenge technical, logistical and human barriers, building on simple good practice.
