The Wave Project is a surf therapy charity with multiple locations in the UK. They help young people reduce anxiety and gain confidence through surfing. The courses have been proven to positively impact clients by making them feel calmer, more motivated and better about their future.
“I’m extremely passionate about using surfing as therapy and to encourage more people to get outside, stay active and experience the benefits the sport can bring.
I think this is particularly important to children and is the reason I have continued to work closely with The Wave Project.”
The Wave Project depends on volunteers in the UK.
By 2025, they would like to support 5,000 more young people with free surf therapy course.
