About

 

Foundation info: The Wave Project runs therapeutic surf sessions and courses for young people in the UK who are deemed to be socially isolated. This can be through mental health difficulties, rural isolation, family problems, disability or traumatic experiences such as bereavement. Our surfing projects are evidence-based and designed to help clients to improve their self-confidence, resilience and motivation. Projects are delivered by our fantastic team of volunteer surf mentors, and overseen by a qualified surf instructor. All of our staff, paid and voluntary, have undertaken some training around our clients' needs. We currently run projects across England, Wales and Scotland.

What's up

Come Along to our Surf Therapy Programmes in Croyde We work with young people who are referred from across the whole of Devon by running sessions on both the North and South coast. Current Beach Locations for Surf Therapy are Bigbury, Croyde, Goodrington, Sidmouth and Westward Ho! Our courses run during the Spring, Summer, and Autumn. We also have Surf Club sessions running from April to November. In 2021 our Adaptive Surf Hub was launched in Croyde. We’re passionate about improving the lives of our local youth, seeing smiles and improving their mental and physical well-being through surfing.
