Poor mental health impacts every area of a child’s life, the relationships they build, their academic performance and their physical health. So, our NHS-recognised therapies deliver a real difference to children who need them. We work with young people aged 8-18 experiencing poor mental health. How do we do it? We combine the therapeutic elements of the ocean with the adventure of surfing and a supportive culture of acceptance to help children do things they never thought possible. That’s why the young people we work with enjoy:
Higher self-esteem Reduced anxiety Better trust and friendships More positive futures
The Wave Project is a UK charity that brings people together through a shared love of the ocean. They harness the therapeutic power of surfing to help reduce feelings of anxiety and improve confidence amongst children and young people. It’s a pretty special, innovative and unique organisation, and it’s no wonder that their employees love working there. They feel it’s ‘rewarding, fun and flexible’ and ‘you get to go to the beach every day!’ If you want to make a difference to children’s lives and you’re up for having a lot of fun along the way, then The Wave Project could be the perfect place for you.
