Young boys having fun learning to skateboard

We are a UK registered youth development charity dedicated to helping young people to fulfil their potential through learning to skateboard

We are launching our new programme at Windsor Skatepark 26 Oct - 1 Nov 2020

then in other towns and cities in 2021.

We do this by providing accessible and affordable (or free) opportunities for children and young people to learn to skateboard, in a structured and supportive environment.

Identity

We help young people develop a positive sense of identity, belonging and connectedness with each other, the community and society as a whole.

Confidence

Our programme boosts a young person's confidence, self-esteem and the knowledge that they can make positive things happen in their life

Skateboarding has taught me two things that symbolise a meaning of life. How to keep a balance and how to pick yourself up when you've fallen.
