Company activities and impact

Surfability UK CIC provides surfing lessons and experiences to people in the community who are disabled or have learning difficulties and also the Parents, carers and siblings of the participants. Surfability UK aims to make surfing as accessable and inclusive as possible to people with disabilities and learning difficulties and has done so to great effect over the period covered by this report. Over the course of the year we worked with around 1300 people. Surfability currently runs sessions for between 50 and 70 people per week and has been building a strong community through providing access to the beach and through people volunteering to assist with sessions. We have provided surfing experiences for people with many kinds of disability. Participants this year have included; people with autistic spectrum conditions and Asperger’s syndrome, people with Angelmans syndrome, people with Downs syndrome, people with dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD, people with cerebral palsy, people with dwarfism, blind and partially sighted people, amputees, people with athrogryposis, people with kyphoscoliosis, people with diplegia, hemiplegia and quadriplegia. We continue to improve our ofering for wheelchair users. Having three seated tandem surfboards for wheelchair users who cannott sit up unaided has allowed us to greatly improve inclusion by wheelchair users, as well as having multiple wheelchair users in the water at the same time. We have been working lonside Swansea Council to assist with hiring out (for free) their beach wheelchairs. This means that anyone from the public who needs to use a chair can access one easily. We saw lots of elderly people enjoying the beach this year thanks to this access. Another great development has been our bespoke wellbeing index that has been helping us show the impact of our activities.

Consultation with stakeholders

The stakeholders of Surfability UK are the participants in surfing sessions who have disabilities and or learning difficulties, their parents and carers, also groups and schools that provide support for these people. Verbal consultation has been conducted through meeting with regular groups and changes made from the feedback such as altering times and lengths of sessions and the number of participants in sessions. Our stakeholders are also consulted in order to ascertain what equipment and training would be most useful in promoting their inclusion in surfing. This advice was followed when investing in training and equipment. As part of a National Lottery funded project we have developed our own well being index in order to measure the impact of surfing on our participants. This was developed through focus groups with service users, parents, carers and professionals.

Directors' remuneration
