About Ru-Slack

Well beyond being both the UK's leading and longest running slackline delivery organisation (Yes we are over 10 years old) and the worlds first education partner to the International Slackline Association.

Ru-Slack is a social enterprise with the aim of creating social capital by developing and educating people through the medium of Slacklining. 

As a Fellow of the School for Social Entrepreneurs and a proud member of The Institute for Outdoor Learning our goal is to encourage people outside into their environment to engage in something real, with real emotion, real consequence, real purpose and potential to reach beyond themselves, leading to positive affirmation and personal development.

How did you come to be?

Ru-Slacks inception came back in 2011, after carrying out research into the use of slacklining as a possible tool to engage young people who were either at risk of, or who were, offending. 

Not only did we see some fantastic results but we could also see a clear opportunity to use this new and exciting activity as an educational tool to improve the lives of those around us.

What's your experience ?

As both the UK's leading and longest running slackline delivery organisation; we can lay claim to numerous firsts and achievements both at home and abroad but also too many to list here, so below you will find a little list of what we think makes us special.

Among us, we hold backgrounds in providing mainstream education and a variety of outdoor adventurous activities to all manner of clients. They range from university groups to family activity days, from primary school children with SEN & EBD to teenage, socially excluded youth. 

With this, we bring extensive experience of not only the hard skills needed to facilitate slacklining in a safe and proficient manner, but also some of the softer skills needed to facilitate an area that encourages participants' own development in a supportive environment.
