The Castle Climbing Centre is proud to launch the Castle Sustainability Fund: a fund created to support grassroots projects in the UK and around the world to tackle climate change and social inequality.

The Castle has committed to investing 10% of annual profits each year into The Castle Sustainability Fund. This money will be used to fund grassroots and sustainable projects anywhere in the world in response to the global climate crisis.

Anyone is free to apply for a grant from the Sustainability Fund - you do not need to be a registered charity to do so.
