£30,000 boost for Dorset surf charity project
Young people with mental health challenges are able to enjoy support from The Wave Project thanks to a donation from the children’s charity of rugby.
A charity which uses surf therapy programmes to help children in Dorset with mental health challenges has received a donation of more than £30,000 from Wooden Spoon, the children’s charity of rugby.
The Wave Project has a proven track record of profoundly impacting the lives of young people through its NHS-recognised interventions. By providing a fun and supportive environment, the charity empowers participants to develop resilience, cultivate social skills and experience a sense of accomplishment.
Barry Monahan from Wooden Spoon said: “Mental health challenges among young people are a growing concern, and we believe that surf therapy offers a creative and effective way to address these issues.”
Ramon Van de Velde, chief executive officer of The Wave Project said: “We are incredibly grateful for the Wooden Spoon’s generous support and belief in the transformative power of surf therapy.
“Time and again, we witness our interventions’ profound impact on children and young people – replacing anxiety with accomplishment, insecurity with confidence and new-found resilience.”
The Wave Project also operates in the Isle of Wight, Cornwall and Scotland.
