Surf Therapy CIC

The Project in a Nutshell:

Surf Therapy CIC run “Surf to Success” which is an ocean therapy intervention program designed for young people involved in the criminal justice system in Swansea. The program aims to improve participants’ physical and mental well-being and increase community involvement through surfing lessons, mindfulness sessions, and environmental education. It also provides opportunities for former participants to become surf mentors and volunteers, promoting a sense of ownership and community.

Why This Matters:

The program benefits young people under the age of 25 who are at risk and involved in the criminal justice system. It aims to improve their mental and physical well-being, reduce risky behaviours, and provide them with a sense of community and belonging. It also offers employment and volunteering opportunities, which can help participants develop valuable skills and improve their life prospects, creating a positive ripple effect within the community.
