As such I think it would be a terrible waste to lose such a good facility.

Important resources should be preserved. If we close everything, then what kind of world will be live in?

She adores climbing and has a real natural talent. Other than upperlimits, I would have to take her to stoke. It would be awful for all the kids who attend should it close, as it is a really excellent centre that prides itself on building confidence and skills for kids with developmental needs. DO NOT CLOSE UPPERLIMITS! It would be a massive loss to our community!

Half my life, and i have seen it progress from a tiny issolated club to a fun and large community. The number of people going since moving to leek high has nearly doubled. With out this community me and some of my friends would have a significant difference to society and would mot probobley not fit in. But due to our club we have deffinatly grown in confidence and maturity and feel like we are part of something. I really hope it stays.

We know that money is tight everywhere, but urge the College to enter into dialogue with users in order to preserve it. It is a real service to the wider community of Leek and the Moorlands.

It seems like Leek College is continuing in the same style.

Complete closure would be a great loss, particularly when other services are being cut for young people in this area.

It teaches self reliance, self control in stressful situations, trust, and co-operation. Climbing takes people out of their comfort zone, allowing them to discover that they have much greater resourcefulness and courage than they imagined. Climbing inspires many to achieve great things. Please keep this facility open. Use resourcefulness and imagination to find a way to fund a valuable and important community facility.
