"Surf therapy has provided Harry with a safe space, with no expectations other than to have fun and be himself.” For Harry, who was born with a rare genetic condition and spent his early childhood in hospitals instead of playgrounds, #SurfTherapy opened up a whole new world. He found confidence and connection through the support of the our team @waveprojectbristol Before his referral, Harry's family had never heard of surf therapy. Now they're determined to spread the word so every child who needs that support can experience the life-changing benefits.

The number of young people undergoing treatment or waiting to start care in CAMHS reached 466,250 in May. The highest number on record. These young people could fill Wembly Stadium, five times over (source: Young Minds). Our award winning surf therapy is needed more than ever. Our intervention is proven to significantly improve confidence, self esteem, social trust and well-being - long after the 6 week programme has finished. Which is why some referral partners have been referring children struggling with their mental health to us for over 13 years. It won't be long until we start back in the water. If you are a parent, carer or a potential referral partner and want to find out more about the process on how to refer a child to The Wave Project then head to www.waveproject.co.uk/make-a-referral-2/ We still have places in our Spring programmes so please get in touch! #changinglives #surftherapy #ISTO #thewaveprojectfamily #charity #wellbeing #mentalhealth #childrensmentalhealth #bluehealth #surfcommunity

Will YOU be making a lasting difference? Our vision is simple: no child should suffer because they can’t get the help they need. By remembering The Wave Project in your will, you have the power to transform the lives of children across the UK and bring us one step closer to achieving this vision for generations to come. "I started volunteering for the Wave Project around 5 years ago. I have been moved and blown away at the difference it makes to children’s wellbeing. I watched firsthand as children developed confidence, trust, made friends and smiled from ear to ear. A sight to be seen for sure. Therefore, my husband and I have decided to leave a gift in our Will. The work done at the Wave Project is priceless, the staff and volunteers are amazing, and we hope the work continues and grows to support more children. Times are difficult and if we can help children in any way possible, than we are more than happy and willing to do so” We have partnered with Farewill, a will writing service enabling you to write your will FREE of charge in under 30 minutes from the comfort of your own home.

🎉 FRIDAY FUNDRAISER! 🎉 “I started volunteering for The Wave Project in April this year and have seen first-hand the benefits that surf therapy can provide. It's just a really lovely environment for the young people to be in, and I see them develop a real sense of belonging and friendship.” This week’s Friday Fundraiser took on an incredible solo challenge, cycling 200km coast to coast across Devon - from Barnstable to Ilfracombe, across Dartmoor, before finishing in Plymouth. The money raised will enable us to support more young people with our surf therapy programmes. “It was a challenge for me, but I really enjoyed the adventure. I'm already planning my next one!” Are you ready to take on a challenge and support The Wave Project?
