**Help Us Create a Safe Space for Skateboarding in Coventry!**
Hi everyone! We’re extremely excited to share our latest project.
As you know we are a sustainable fashion skate shop that’s all about making skateboarding accessible to everyone in and around Coventry. We offer lessons and host events that get people involved, no matter their skill level. Our mission is to inspire the younger generation to chase their passions through skateboarding and creating safe spaces in the community that achieve this.
We recently relocated our shop to overlook the courtyard at Fargo Village and set up a new 2ft mini ramp right next door. This halfpipe isn’t just a ramp; it’s a space where skaters can learn, practice, and grow in a safe environment. Thanks to our amazing volunteers, we’ve worked hard to improve the ramp and create a welcoming spot for both beginners and experienced skaters.
To keep things safe, we’ve borrowed some small fences from Fargo and added netting to catch any stray boards. While these have helped, we know we need something more robust to ensure everyone can skate without worries. That’s why we’re looking to invest in taller, sturdier fencing to create a safer and more durable environment that will last a lot longer than what we have at the moment (and will look a lot tidier!)
We also want to add floodlights to keep the ramp open during the winter months, giving everyone a chance to learn and skate even when it gets dark early. Skateboarding shouldn’t just be a summer activity!
To make this happen, we need to raise £500. This will cover three large fences, floodlights, connectors, rubber feet, and delivery costs. We’ll even paint the fences green, allowing them to blend in with the shop.
By supporting this project, you’ll help us create a free and safe space for lessons, growth and a social space for those already at an experienced level; allowing the community to watch and discover skateboarding in a controlled environment. Every donation makes a difference, and we’ve got some great perks lined up to show our appreciation!
Let’s build this skate space together!
