Objectives and Activities
City Kids Surfing works for the public benefit to advance the lives of young people living in urban locations in the United Kingdom through providing recreational and leisure activities in the interest of social welfare for young people who have a need by reason of their social and economic circumstances, with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons, in particular by providing opportunities to go surfing.
Specifically City Kids Surfing works to raise children’s awareness of ocean-related activities and concerns including:
-
Improving their swimming ability
-
Raising awareness of beach safety
-
Raising awareness of coastal conservation issues
-
Giving an understanding of the wider surfing industry
-
To share the benefits of engaging with the ocean for an individual’s physical, mental, social and environmental wellbeing.
Achievements and Performance
Following the challenges of 2020, City Kids Surfing has done its best to navigate 2021 and the ebb and flow of coronavirus restrictions. With the early part of the year spent in lockdown, we worked hard to maintain our relationships and communication with the schools we have formed partnerships with – as well as with other corporate partners such as Finisterre.
As lockdown restrictions eased heading into the summer, there was the opportunity to run a slightly limited programme – still including elements such as sessions in school and the residential surfing trip. We worked with a school in Croydon developing a bespoke programme for some of their year 5 pupil premium students.
This led to a fantastic weekend in North Devon with some of the children having never been to the sea before. They were able to experience the beauty of the UK’s coastal areas, and grow in confidence as they developed their own skills. This included a number of surf lessons, during which they improved dramatically, smiles beaming across their faces.
This year we have also been able to develop elements of the residential trip, including our food provision. This year we crafted a food menu allowing the children to learn new skills in the kitchen as well as at the beach. They both made their own burgers as well as their own pizzas over the weekend, as well as understanding how to make healthy choices for their lunches which they prepared themselves with the City Kids Surfing team’s support.
Also included in the residential were sessions on both mindfulness and children-centred yoga, enabling the children to pick up skills for calming their minds and bodies, alongside the physical challenges of surfing.
It was also an exciting time as an organisation as Finisterre journeyed with us this year, documenting the trip both in video and photo format. We have been very grateful for this!
In the Autumn of 2021 City Kids Surfing was also invited to deliver a number of assemblies in local primary schools for 2021’s Green Week , highlighting the need for blue spaces (seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds etc) to be protected and enjoyed. We were also able to participate in a local primary school’s Green Week Fair running a stall alongside other community organisations where we ran a surfing-based competition which enabled a significant amount of engagement with children, parents and the wider community.
It has been great to make the most of the opportunities afforded in 2021, and City Kids Surfing looks forward to the possibilities for developing again into 2022!
