The Brixton Surf Club
Developing opportunity mindsets through immersive experiences
Empowered youth for a brighter future
The Brixton Surf Club offers experiential learning trips where the excitement of surfing makes personal growth enjoyable and engaging.
We equip young people with tools to connect with their emotions and build the confidence to shape their own lives, fostering self-esteem, courage, and creativity.
Participants leave with a stronger sense of self and practical tools for continued growth. They connect with others, share adventures, and have fun and adventures whilst surfing.
We all have the potential to shape our futures but opportunities, knowledge and support are not equally distributed
As a Community Interest Company (CIC), Brixton Surf Club provides fully funded experiences for those who need them most, supported by donations and the profits from our paid programs.
The Brixton Surf Club disrupts the urban routine by taking young people (11-16) out of their day-to-day context, creating space for us to build self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
We help them experience the rewards of hard work, face their fears, and persist through challenges. We demonstrate tools and techniques for managing stress and model ways to connect with our emotions and in the process we become more compassionate toward others.
We show them they can accomplish things they never thought possible. After the trips themselves, we support them through our mentoring network to support them in their journey, creating the future they envision for themselves.
Paid Experiential Learning & Leadership Development Trips
The world is a blank canvas, it is wide open for young people to build themselves into. Yet that blank canvas can be daunting. If young people are to make the most of the blank canvas they will need a powerful internal compass, they will need to know how to read that compass and to communicate effectively with others.

This is the ideal way to nurture ourselves, providing rest and relaxation along with deep and meaning change in our lives. Focusing on growth does not have to be an arduous and painful experience.
