CHILDREN in Eastville have been given a confidence boost by joining an after-school climbing club.

A group of 24 pupils from Glenfrome Primary School have been visiting St Werburgh's Climbing Centre.

The weekly visits have been made possible thanks to a £1,000 grant from the Horfield and Lockleaze Neighbourhood Partnership.

Emma Thomas, a Year 2 teacher at the school, said climbing had resulted in children developing confidence and self-esteem while learning about health, fitness and teamwork.
