"What it did with our pupils was challenge them, and I think something like this is about personal challenge... and perhaps it's teaching a piece of success they may not have had... and it has a knock on effect of building their confidence"

"The Darlington holiday scheme have really benefitted from Sk8’s skills, knowledge and expertise on skating boarding which they deliver in such a way that everyone in the group was fully included regardless of their disability. All the young people were able to develop their skills in an environment which identified and built on their strengths with praise and encouragement. It is always an activity that the whole group want to take part in and thoroughly enjoy. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Sk8 to other groups and would definitely use them again for future holiday schemes. "
