Young people finding their way
Kids and teenagers who need structure, a role model and somewhere to belong.
Who it's for
If life has you on the ropes, this is your corner.
Through The Ropes is open to anyone, regardless of age, gender, ability or background. We go where we're needed most, whatever group that puts someone in.
Who we stand beside
Anyone doing it tough
Stress, anxiety, low mood. Training with others is a powerful way to get your head above water.
People rebuilding
After addiction, grief, prison or trauma. Our founder has walked those roads himself.
Women
Strength, confidence and a crew of people who have your back.
Every ability
The programme adapts to you. If you can turn up, you can take part.
Anyone feeling alone
Ten weeks with the same faces, the same goal and the same finish line. That's belonging.
No experience needed. No fitness level needed. No judgement, ever.
Group by group
The numbers, and where we can help.
For referrers, partners and funders: each group has its own page with current Australian figures, what the research says, and what we will measure.
Know someone who needs this?
Parents, teachers, case workers, coaches and services: refer someone and we'll take it from there, gently.
