We were HONOURED to be invited along to play a part in the 2025 Bupa x Paralympics GB #TeamHealthChallenge event!
Check out this years highlights video on YouTube here to see what the event is all about.
Our role for the day was supporting o3e in the delivery of the ‘Charity Challenge’, where 56 teams competed to win points by designing, constructing and pitching 112 skateboards, which would later be donated to various charities across the UK.
SKATEBOARD WORKSHOP
Alongside the board design and construction activity, one member from each team had to have a 10-minute lesson with Cath, to learn a pancake flip and secure bonus points!
We’re proud to say that every single person landed a pancake flip, regardless of age, gender or disability! Incredible effort from all.
One of the most magical parts of the day, was when we found out that 28 of the skateboards were going to be donated to us, to support our sessions in London.
So thank you so much to everyone involved for all of our beautiful skateboards;
We’ve already been putting them to use in our school sessions, as you can see here;
We’d like to finish by thanking o3e again, for their incredible workshops and for choosing us as one of the 4 lucky organisations to receive the donated skateboards.
If you’d like to feature a skateboarding challenge at one of your events, drop us an email!
