In-water Volunteer

  • VO100232


Description

Inclusive Surfing Scotland is a new charity that delivers surfing experiences to children and adults with disabilities that restrict their access to the waves. We are recruiting in-water volunteers to support our surfers in the water, helping to push them into waves, catch them in the shallows and provide support and encouragement throughout. All volunteers will complete our in-house training (an online induction, followed by in-water training) and will be PVG checked. Help make our surfers experience in the waves unforgettable!

Organisation aims and objectives

Inclusive Surfing Scotland is a newly established charity, whose purpose is to offer fully adaptive surfing sessions to surfers with disabilities that would otherwise limit their access to the waves. The charity caters to both children and adults.
