Surf2heal a Success in Tramore
This year's Surf2heal programme in Tramore has been hailed as a huge success, Waterford Today reports.
The annual nationwide surfing camp for children with autism pairs each child with four volunteers to help them have fun with the surf experience, with the aim of building their confidence, balance, co-ordination and communication skills.
In Tramore, Freedom Surf School provided its facilities and equipment free of charge to both the volunteers and children.
"Each year the camp keeps getting bigger and bigger," said Pam Butler, Surf2heal co-ordinator in Tramore. "But without the invaluable volunteers we couldn't make it happen."
