Social Enterprise
2009 is the start of a new exciting youth led Social enterprise project based in Cwmaman, South Wales. The project revolves around Health and Fitness & Outdoor Activity. We can provide a tailored package of outdoor & indoor experiences both locally & further afield.
Social enterprises are profit-making businesses set up to tackle aims such as job creation, training or the provision of local services. They have ethical values including a commitment to local capacity building, and they are accountable to their members and the wider community for their social environmental and economic impact.
The project will provide skills, training, confidence & employment opportunities for young people in Cwmaman and the surrounding area. Due to the social aspect of the company all profit will be put back into new training, development of new facilities, continued growth & sustainability of the project.

Slacklining/Tricklining
Slacklining is a balance sport which utilizes nylon webbing stretched tight between two anchor points. Slacklining is distinct from tightrope walking in that the line is not held rigidly taut; it is instead dynamic, stretching and bouncing like a long and narrow trampoline. The line's tension can be adjusted to suit the user and different types of dynamic webbing can be used to achieve a variety of feats. The line itself is flat, due to the nature of webbing, thus keeping the slacker's footing from rolling as would be the case with an ordinary rope. The dynamic nature of the line allows for impressive tricks and stunts.Our 25m line slackline setup is an advanced roped pulley tensioning system.Its constructed with three sections of webbing: a long section (82 ft) strung tightly between two anchor points or two trees, using "tree slings” as anchors on either end.
Slacklining improves balance, coordination and strengthens the body’s core muscle groups.
