The Wave Project

The Wave Project is a community movement that was started by a group of surfers in Newquay, Cornwall. They wanted to use the freedom and fun of surfing as a way of helping disadvantaged young people to feel happier.

A pilot scheme put together in 2010, funded by the NHS, to assess whether young people who are struggling would feel more positive by going surfing once a week.

The results were so conclusive that the Wave Project received further funding from BBC Children In Need, the Tudor Trust and Cornwall Council, to develop more projects for children and young people.

Now the Project’s amazing team of volunteers work with scores of disadvantaged children each year, helping them to rediscover fun, friendship and the joy of living.
