DONATIONS
Wanderers of Colour is a grassroots volunteer-run organisation and we all work hard to keep access to the outdoors and sports like climbing as open as possible. If you are able to make a donation, this money will help create fully funded spaces for people on low income to attend events like these in future as well as covering our basic (very low) administrative costs like our Google Workspace license.

FAQs
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you a full range of movement. Remove any rings or anything else that might get caught in advance before you climb. Bring a water bottle, there are fountains to refill it at the gym and a £1 coin for the lockers if you'd like to make use of them.
- NO LONGER ABLE TO ATTEND? (FUNDED PLACE)
If you registered for a funded place and are no longer able to attend, please cancel your ticket by latest 3 days before the start time of the event. We will not be able to offer you a funded place again if you do not cancel in time as this prevents other people from attending.
- NO LONGER ABLE TO ATTEND? (OTHER TICKET TYPES)
We'd appreciate you cancelling your ticket as it gives us a more accurate idea of how many people are coming. However if you have made a donation, cancelling your ticket will also cancel this donation. If you'd like the donation to remain in place, please don't cancel.
