How Surf Therapy Transformed Callum’s Life – Double Your Impact with the Big Give
At The Wave Project, Surf Therapy offers children and young people the chance to connect with the ocean on their own terms. For Callum, a young boy with complex needs, Surf Therapy has been life-changing.

Callum’s time in the water, guided by his mentor Craig, has boosted his confidence and brought immense joy. Whether he’s riding waves, standing up, or simply playing in the ocean, Surf Therapy has given Callum the freedom to enjoy the sea in a way that works for him.
“Surf Therapy comes in many different forms. Whether it’s riding waves, standing up, or laying down, or maybe just playing in the water. Whatever Callum wanted to do, well that’s what we did. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to mentor Callum. We’ve been on an amazing journey together. He’s the ultimate surfer dude.” – Craig, Callum’s Surf Mentor
The bond between Callum and Craig has been key to his success. Callum’s grandparent, Andrea, shared how this experience has changed Callum’s life:
“Callum has complex needs, and for him to be able to have time in the water—whether surfing or not—is massively important to him. It has boosted his confidence immensely, and he has formed an excellent bond with his mentor Craig. It’s heartwarming to watch how much Callum enjoyed his sessions and how they have changed his life.”
