The Wave Project began supporting children in Northern Ireland in 2018 as a volunteer led pilot project. Based at the stunning Causeway Coast, we run surf sessions from both Portrush and Benone Beach.
We deliver Wave Project’s award winning surf therapy to over 80 children per year and also have a thriving surf club, where children can continue to develop their surfing skills after completing the initial 6 week programme.
Carla is responsible for the delivery of surf therapy at our Northern Ireland project. She also leads the rest of the delivery team in the North East of England and North Yorkshire
