🌊 Connection changes everything 🌊 For many young people, The Wave Project becomes more than just time in the water; it offers friendship, support and a community. This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we’re asking for your support to Power Beyond the Surf, helping more young people feel safe, seen and connected. We need to raise £100,000 to support 120 young people through Surf Therapy 👉 be part of it by clicking the link in our bio! #PowerBeyondTheSurf #SurfTherapy #MentalHealthMatters 📸 Video created by @bullandwolffilm

🌊 Power Beyond The Surf 🌊 Across the UK, we support over 2,600 young people each year through Surf Therapy, an early intervention that builds confidence, connection and emotional resilience. But demand continues to grow. Right now, 1 in 5 young people are experiencing a mental health challenge and many are still waiting for support. This spring, we’re aiming to raise funds that could impact far beyond the shoreline, into families, schools and communities.

🌊 We’re excited to share our brand new Impact Beyond the Surf report. At a time when over half a million young people are waiting for mental health support, these findings couldn’t be more important. Our latest research shows that Surf Therapy can significantly improve young people’s mental health and wellbeing, alongside real increases in confidence, connection and emotional resilience. This is why early intervention matters. And why this work is needed now more than ever. As we head into the spring season you can help power this impact, in the surf and beyond it 👉 link in bio! #PowerBeyondTheSurf #SurfTherapy #MentalHealthMatters #TheWaveProject The report has been made possible by the Prudence Trust.

Awesome day sharing the work that we do with Trustees from The Clare Milne Trust. They have been instrumental in enabling equitable surfing for @waveprojectuk in South West. @johnfowlerholidays @surfsouthwest @accessforallbeaches @biffenskitchen @oceanpitch @kingsarmsgeorgeham @flowtsurfboards @cerebracharity @geckoheadgear @dryrobe @saltrock @surfingengland @calvert_devon @surfingengland @northdevonworldsurfingreserve

Nine months after sustaining a life-changing spinal cord injury, @cam.treble returned to the surf last week 🌊 With unwavering determination and supported by the awesome @waveprojectuk team that made the unpredictable environment feel safe, he caught his first green waves since the injury. A true testament to personal resilience, the healing power of the sea, and the community that holds us up when we need it most. An honour to share this milestone. Here’s to the next session 🤙

🌊 “I don’t feel as trapped now.” #SurfTherapy gave Cerys a place where she could feel safe, supported and like she belongs. When she first joined @waveprojectnorthdevon , she felt unsure and apprehensive. But over time, we watched her confidence grow in the water, and beyond. She progressed through Surf Therapy, then Surf Club… and now she’s one of our brilliant volunteer Surf Mentors! 🌊 If you’d like to support more journeys like Cerys’, please get involved and support our charity: /15-years-of-surf-therapy/ #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #MentalHealthMatters #TheWaveProject
