This article describes an event held at Boulders Indoor Climbing Centre in Cardiff to demonstrate how climbing is being used to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of a range of different users. It explains how the climbing has helped one 21 year old who sustained a brain trauma when he was 16 years old. The event also explained how Newport City Council's NEET Project uses Boulders as a way of engaging with young people. (Original abstract)
