Provide a Skate For Life Workshop

Shredder Skate School is raising funds to provide a Skate For Life Workshop.

Skate for Life workshops are provided in lower income areas. Skateboarding as a hobby has quite a high entry price point, with participants needing a high quality skateboard, helmet and protection to practice safely and efficiently. This excludes a large number of young people from being able to experience and gain the positive effects skateboarding can bring to their lives. It is our goal to eliminate these costs for them and provide young people from lower income backgrounds with the equipment and skills they need to begin their skateboarding journey.

Our aim is for skateboarding to bring positivity to their lives, create strong social groups, improve mental health and general wellbeing. On the day, we welcome a selected group of young people to participate. The workshops are split in to two parts. The first, building their own skateboard, before moving outside for some professional skateboard tuition for the second part.

By raising £1,000 we will be able to work with local authorities to recognise and select 10 young people to provide a Skate for Life workshop for.

The funds will be used for:

10 Complete Skateboards

10 Helmets

10 Skateboard Tools

Workshop Fees
