This year Girls on Hills' focus will be improving access - access to the trails, the mountains and to our services. In conjunction with the launch of our Access Fund on 1st January 2024, we have joined community platform Patreon.
What is Patreon?
Patreon is a website and free app which provides a way to join and engage with our fan-base/community. Our Patreon is a dedicated area where you can get direct access to content such as online courses, special offers and prizes, discounted courses, merchandise and early access to new events - through paid membership. You can even get involved in the business and help us shape the future of our wee company!
Your support via Patreon will enable Girls on Hills to deliver and expand the services you know and love! - hopefully extending our reach to a wider audience, across the UK.
How do I get involved?
Simply visit the Patreon website at www.patreon.com or download the free app. You can find us here or search for Girls on Hills. The app is really easy to use and not at all techy! Have a read of our About Us page and flick through our 6 membership tiers. If you like what you see, you can subscribe there and then! We will post content on Patreon that is exclusively available to you and your membership tier, as well as reply to questions via the Chat function. We can also message you directly, to extend you last minute availability, offers and prizes each month.
We have looked carefully at our pricing structure to make sure you get your money's worth and save on events. For example, if you 'Join the Program' and view a full block of 5 online courses (£RRP15/session), then you will have saved £55 on the cost of tickets that month alone - that's before taking into account any of the other membership benefits!
Our Patreon - the vision
Since we established Girls on Hills in 2018, we have slowly been expanding beyond in-person skills courses, delivering more expert editorial, advocacy services and online content. The idea is to try and reach more women across the UK and deliver some of our services through digital media for those who feel that Scotland is too far or who cannot afford to attend (in terms of cost or time). We want to improve access and empower as many women as possible!
Our Patreon will be administered by Girls on Hills Co-Founder, Keri Wallace. In the highest (most pricey!) membership tiers, our offering becomes more personlised and extends, not only to a behind the scenes look at Girls on Hills (i.e. the business), but a candid take on the 'juggle' involved in mixing-up motherhood and mountains (i.e. Keri the person)!
