My name is Cherish Belle I’m a filmmaker, events coordinator, and passionate advocate for the UK skating community.

I’m raising £50,000 to build the UK’s first dedicated speed skating track for quad skaters. Right now, we don’t have a safe, professional, or permanent space to train, compete, and grow together. This track will change that giving skaters of all ages a place to develop skill, strengthen our community, and create pathways for future Olympians.

Why this matters to me:

For years, I’ve worked to create opportunities for young people in the creative and entertainment industries. I’ve seen what happens when you give someone a safe space, a supportive community, and the chance to invest in themselves.

This track isn’t just a roller skating venue it’s a movement. A space for skaters to thrive, learn, and build something lasting that could grow for decades. It’ll give us a sense of security allowing us to welcome people from all over the world who share the same passion.
