Coronavirus Update

Lockdown 3 has started, but we will be continuing to provide support to children and young people to protect their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

The latest guidance from the UK government says, “Support groups that have to be delivered in person can continue with up to 15 participants where formally organised to provide mutual aid, therapy or any other for of support – but they must take place at a premises other than a private home.”

As a charity supporting young people, we have seen the impact of the pandemic on children’s mental health. So we will be continuing to work with partners to provide a therapeutic service, following our stringent Covid operating procedures (available to view via the link below)

Our founder and CEO, Joe Taylor, said:

“We have a moral responsibility to continue supporting young people through this lockdown. I am hugely grateful to our trusted surf schools, surf mentors, volunteers and of course our staff – who have stepped up to the plate. Together we can make a difference to young people who need support at this time.”

Operating procedures

“My daughter went to school today still BUZZING about last night, when she was first referred even leaving the house was causing her anxiety and fear – after the sessions she was like a different child, I kid you not – so calm and happy!”

The programme is a real motivator for our students.  They look forward to attending and are buzzing with excitement when they return.”

Year 9 Pastoral Team

After completing Beach School I joined The Wave Project Surf Club!

Year 9 Student, Cornwall

The student’s were openly sharing knowledge and understanding with peers when the lesson covered aspects of the curriculum covered during Beach School, such as erosion and geography.

Teacher, Beach School

“Beach School has had a positive and lasting impact on the majority of the pupils who participated.   Improving pupil outcomes reducing antisocial learning behaviours, raising pupil engagement and aspiration.”

Teacher, Beach School

“My son loves the Wave Project and all the guys are absolutely fantastic. He is able to be himself and is accepted for who he is. He could not wait to go surfing every week and showed an excitement. Instead of trying to fit in and be someone he is not. They have fun and the atmosphere and positivity is amazing. The happiest days are with the Wave Project. So thank you, you really do change children’s lives.”

Parent, Cornwall

“The Wave Project has totally inspired my son. It has the right balance of challenge, excitement, relaxation, being part of a group. It also helps with his confidence, mood and sensory difficulties. It ticks all the boxes really. Plus we parents get a bit of a rest, can chat to other parents and have a cup of tea on the beach! He always says being in the sea is where he feels happiest and where his worries all go away…”

Mum, Dorset

Surfing has given my son confidence and self esteem that, as a teenager living with high functioning autism, he never had before. This amazing work should not be underestimated.

Parent, Isle of Wight
