The Wave Project

This week is #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, a time focused on the importance of empowering young minds and building resilience. So it’s fitting that we share this incredible day at the North Devon Adaptive Hub, alongside The @WaveProject, in collaboration with Whizz-Kidz.

Support Holly and Elissa in their challenge - and help us reach more young people through Surf Therapy around the UK: loom.ly/xkLYKaE And why not complete an epic fundraiser of your own? Visit our website and get involved! 👉 loom.ly/zJHm-g0

'We're both strong advocates for mental health awareness, & a dip a day felt like a meaningful way to reflect the challenges that people face & the incredible impact that the ocean can have on our wellbeing. The work that The Wave Project does perfectly captures that connection!"

Fab Fundraisers Holly and Elissa are taking on the challenge to dip a day for the whole of February in support of The Wave Project - a cool feat in more ways than one! They explain their motivation behind their fundraiser:

💙 We’re hiring! We’re looking for an experienced, proactive Finance Officer. If you’re detail-driven and want your work to help support young people’s mental health through Surf Therapy, we’d love to hear from you: loom.ly/j_gQxpg

💙 Mental health doesn’t follow a calendar 💙 If today feels tough, focus on the basics: fresh air, movement, blue spaces and connection. Small things can make a big difference. And if today feels light, hold onto that, those moments matter too.
