Community Case Management announce collaboration

After five years of joyful collaboration with The Wave Project we are thrilled to announce our official partnership with this wonderful charity.

The ethos at Community Case Management has always been that Life is for living and working with The Wave Project allows us to bring this to reality for our clients.

The Charity, founded in 2010, helps children and young people through surf therapy courses and has delivered smiles to over 10,000 young people so far.

The physiological and psychological benefits of Grounding and Ocean immersion are well documented, with electron transfers reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, yet surfing somehow adds a further Kinaesthetic dimension to the therapy. 

Cornwall is the home of the original Wave Project, launched as an NHS pilot to investigate the benefits of surf therapy and it now extends to 14 hubs in Devon, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

The reach of the Wave Project is not limited to those recovering from serious injuries and is primarily geared towards improving mental health of young people, regardless of their level of physical ability.

Research has shown that young people who have worked with the Wave Project enjoy higher self-esteem, reduced anxiety, better trust and more positive life outcomes.

Beyond its domestic operations, The Wave Project has also made the international surf dreams of our clients come true, with an annual trip to the Canary Islands now a calendar highlight for several clients, including James.

The Canary Islands, home to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, is characterised by year-round sun and volcanic scenery with dozens of surfable beaches.

Our experience shows that these locations, which match breathtaking scenery, the nourishing effect of sunlight and surfing are particularly therapeutic.

James kindly shared some thoughts on his experiences with surf therapy, describing the Wave Project as being “Good people and good support in all weather.”

His surfing has come on leaps and bounds over the last four years of partnership with The Wave Project. Jame’s phenomenal support worker

Aaron said the following: “What a week, I can’t actually put it into words”.  I’d echo Aaron’s thoughts entirely, there were a number of priceless moments shared among the group that simply took our breath away. 

Aaron is a great example of the effect of The Wave Project can have on people as he now enjoys going surfing with his family in Newquay after catching the buzz in Croyde. 

Wave Project volunteer Andy has just returned from Huntington Beach California, coaching the English Para-Surfing Team at the World Championships. The team landed a number of medals and represented the nation fantastically.

Much like Ian, long-time volunteer and pioneer of the Wave Project he lives and breathes the ocean and they get on famously well. Keep an eye out for them for anyone who heads down for a session in their stomping ground Croyde with a client, friend or family member. 
CCM are committed to delivering activity bases therapy for their clients and will shortly be announcing future collaborations and exciting trips away.
