We’ve been having a very busy summer at Wave Project North Devon…

The Wave Project is a young people's mental health charity and, although it initially started out in Newquay 10 years ago, has been active in North Devon since 2013.

We provide an evidence backed six week surf therapy course for young people (aged 8 18) who are referred to us by professionals such as GP's, social workers and school teachers. These young people are referred due to a range of different challenges in their lives from bullying, depression or grief, to physical or learning disabilities.

At the Wave Project our sessions allow them to experience the joy of the coastal environment and the waves, in a way that is safe and supported. Our young people report feeling more confident, having made new friends and having new skills by the end of a six week course with us.

One of the unique aspects of the Wave that seems to work so well for young people is that we work with volunteer surf mentors. We offer training to volunteers, which means that they can work 1:1, within a group setting under the guidance of surf instructors, to support young people in the sea. In North Devon area we have outstanding volunteer engagement, allowing us to deliver a huge number of sessions.

We usually operate from Croyde Bay with our partner Surf School Surf South West. With more demand than ever before following Covid, we also ran a successful Pilot Project at Westward Ho! in 2021, seeking to best meet the needs of the young people who are referred to us. We have continued to operate at Westward Ho! since then. We’d like to say a big thank you to Surf South West in Croyde and Westward Waves in Westward Ho! for helping us to deliver so many sessions already this year.

The charity operates from 32 beach locations across Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England.

Summer Surf Therapy courses are now complete. More than 25 new young people experienced the joy of a six week therapy course, supported by our brilliant surf schools Surf South West in Croyde and Westward Waves at Sandymere. Our wonderful team of volunteers made the magic happen, and we are as grateful as ever.

The Autumn Surf Therapy course will be kicking off in September.

Surf Club has been in full swing for summer, and this year surf club coordinator Bryony has made a partnership with North Devon National Trust. Children in Surf Club enjoyed a workshop at Braunton Burrows with Fraser, the project lead for the Dynamic Dunescapes project. Tree conservation activities, habitat supporting and learning about wildflowers in the AONB and Biosphere were well received by the young people, and we are very grateful to the National Trust for this partnership.

Adaptive Surfing sessions have been as busy as ever, and a big thanks must go the many volunteers who have been involved to make the sessions safe and possible.

In July Adaptive Surfing Lead Ian left Croyde to go and support the organisation and running of Surfing England’s Adaptive Surfing Open at The Wave. We were proud to see Surf Instructors and adaptive Surfers from North Devon in attendance, and glad for the Wave Project to be so well represented at this world class facility and event in Bristol.

In July our North Devon team headed to Watergate Bay, Cornwall. Ian and Jaz had largely organised the Summer Surf Challenge event this year, which invites young people with disabilities to come and experience surfing. The event was a huge success, with more than 60 young people entering the water to surf in a single day. Thank you to the volunteers who came all the way to Cornwall to help make it possible.

We were thrilled to be invited to the World Surf Reserve film night at Freshwell Campsite, alongside lots of other brilliant local stake holders including Plastic Free North Devon and Wave Wahines. A lovely time was had by all, and despite the rain Croyde delivered one of its outstanding sunsets.

We’d like to say thank you to Croyde Village Sunday Market who allowed us to sell our vast second hand wetsuit collection during the summer. Giving pre-loved wetsuits a new lease of life, and supporting the work that we do.

Another big thank you to Andrew McCausland and the team who raised £95 through a coffee morning in the newly refurbished Georgeham Chapel we are really grateful.

Similarly, we’d like to say a big thank you to Georgeham and Croyde WI who raised £300 through their plant sale earlier in the year.

We were successful in our application to Tescos community grants scheme at the beginning of the summer. This means you can find us and vote for us with your tokens in the three Tesco stores in Barnstaple and the one in Ilfracombe until the end of September. Please support us by popping your votes in and encouraging your friends and family to do the same!

Our lovely volunteers have been busy fundraising too Amazing Sara completed three marathons in three days earlier in the year and raised over £2000.

More recently Rachel completed a swim run in Wales raising funds for us.

We’d like to thank Cliff for his incredible fundraising triathlon. At 39 Cliff experienced a stroke, drastically changing the course of his life. A few years ago he came surfing with the Wave Project and he hasn’t looked back. Last summer he got back to his feet on a board for the first time in many years, and this year he set himself a mega challenge. On 6th July he cycled from Braunton to Saunton, swam from Saunton to Croyde then walked across Croyde beach to finish his triathlon. Cliff raised over £2000 to support the continuation of Adaptive Surfing in North Devon, and we are exceptionally grateful. Huge thanks to the North Devon RNLI lifeguards who supported the swim with their staff and equipment.

If you’d like to join our team of wonderful volunteers please sign up on the Wave Project website: www.waveproject.co.uk

If you or your business could support us, then please email jaz@waveproject.co.uk

If you are interested in Adaptive Surfing please email Ian: ianb@waveproject.co.uk If you look after a young person who would benefit from surf therapy, they will need to be referred by a professional such as a school teacher, a GP or a social worker. Contact jaz@waveproject.co.uk for more information. If you are a professional who would like to make a referral please take a look at the Wave Project website.

We are now into October and this month brings two things, even darker evenings and Halloween night on the 31st .

With the hour changing later this month it will start to get darker a lot earlier. Please check yours and your children’s bicycles for working lights. Too many cyclists are putting themselves in danger riding around without lights. It is an offence not to have working lights on your bikes while cycling during the hours of darkness Please don’t let yourself or your child become another road traffic statistic.

Halloween night or as its now commonly known as Trick or Treat is becoming more popular every year with large numbers taking part in Braunton. Most young children are escorted by an adult to keep them safe but as your children get older the pressure to let them go out on their own with friend’s increases. Please consider these safety tips to pass on to them to help keep them safe.

• Older children should let you know where they are going and when they will be back.

• If possible, make sure they carry a mobile phone.

• Remind your children not to enter anyone’s house.

• Make sure they can be seen and stay in well lit areas and on pavements at all times.

• Carry a torch and consider road safety at all times.

• Be sensible when out in a group with other teenagers. Respect homeowners who do not want to answer their door or where the No Trick or Treat sign is displayed. Warn them of the dangers they can get themselves into regarding the ‘trick’ part. Do not throw items such as eggs or flour at people houses. Tricks can go wrong, people could become aggressive, and it could end with your child being involved in a situation they can’t deal with .

The Braunton Neighbourhood Team will be patrolling the area to make sure that everyone enjoys themselves and don't act in an anti-social manner. For those taking part, Halloween is meant to be fun. Please remember this so the evening can be enjoyed by all. Thank You.

A few months ago I received an email from Phil Hammond (pictured) who asked if I could put an article in the EX33 about a tiny kitten called Hailey.

Hayley was being cared for at Animal Rescue Sofia in Bulgaria. Just a few weeks old, she was hit by a car and left at the roadside before someone found her and took her to the shelter to receive emergency care. Poor Hailey’s injuries meant that she is paralysed in both back legs but still remains a ray of sunshine. She was living in a small crate at the shelter surrounded by dogs as Animal Rescue Sofia predominantly look after dogs.

Phil, whilst visiting the rescue centre as part of his work for Dogs Trust, fell in love with Hailey and was determined to get her back to the UK to give her the life and love she deserved. Phil set up a JustGiving Page to raise as much money as he could to get Hailey her vaccinations and bring her back to the UK. I’m very pleased to say that Hailey finally made that trip and was bought home to Braunton on 13th August.

Here is how Phil managed it:

It has proved more difficult than I and Animal Rescue Sofia anticipated to bring her over here. It was difficult to source an animal transport company that would do the journey before September and for a reasonable price (I was quoted almost £4,000 by one company), and no airlines in to the UK would accommodate her.

So, the best way to do it was for a member of staff to fly from Sofia to Paris with Hailey, and I drive over to Paris (getting the ferry from Dover to Calais) and drive Hailey back myself now all the paperwork is sorted.

I wanted to keep travel costs down as much as possible as I want the majority of the money I have raised to go towards treatment for her. I’m amazed to have raised £1,500 so far, but any extra donations will help towards getting her more treatment.

Full information (including photos and a video) of Hailey’s story and the fundraising I am doing can be found on my crowdfunding page:

Queen Elizabeth II

21st April 1926 - 8th September 2022

It was with great sadness that we received the news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Chair of Braunton Parish Council paid tribute -

We have tragically lost the only Monarch most of us have ever known during our lifetimes. Throughout her long reign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II devoted her life to the service of her people, as she promised she would when she acceded to the throne more than 70 years ago. Her reign has included difficult and turbulent times, during which the Queen has been the nation’s rock, always present and always stable, providing continuity and reassuring us all. It is impossible to overestimate how much we will miss her. The people of Braunton send our sincere condolences to the members of the Royal Family at this sad time. Our thoughts are with you.

Dogs Trust Ilfracombe’s oldest rescue dog looking for new home after owner passes away

An elderly dog has found himself looking for a forever home once more after his owner sadly passed away.

Brush, a 12 year old Spaniel cross, first came into Dogs Trust’s rehoming centre in Ilfracombe as a youngster in 2013 when his owner’s circumstances changed. He was soon happily rehomed and spent the last nine years of his life with a loving family. Sadly, he returned to the centre in May this year after his owner passed away, finding himself looking for a forever home once more.

His owner was a much loved supporter of the rehoming centre and thankfully had signed up to Dogs Trust's Canine Care Card, a free service that aims to give owners peace of mind, knowing that Dogs Trust will look after their dog if the worst should happen. Brush is the oldest resident at the West Down rehoming centre and is now looking for a second chance at happiness and to spend his twilight years in a loving home.

Elise Watson, Rehoming Centre Manager at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe, said:

"It’s always sad when older dogs come to us after their whole world has changed but Brush has adjusted well to being back in our care and is a firm favourite with his canine carers. He has been with us for a few weeks now and we would love to find him a loving home once more where he can get back to his home comforts that he enjoys.

“Despite his age, he’s pretty active and loves to play ball. He adores his walks in quiet spots and will happily hop in the car for a day out. He’s looking for a home with owners who’ll give him plenty of time to settle, and a cosy bed so he can have a snooze after a morning walk.

“We know we can’t fill the space left by his beloved owner, only a new caring family can do that. But we hope it won’t be long before a new owner comes forward and gives him the love he deserves very soon.”

Brush is looking for a home where he’d be the only pet, and he could live with children aged 11 and above. If you think you could find space in your heart and home for this adorable older gent, please visit www.dogstrust.org.uk/our centres/ilfracombe

Dogs Trust goes ‘bark’ to school to help children stay safe around dogs

With children returning to school after their summer holidays, Dogs Trust is offering primary schools in Devon free workshops to help children learn how they can live happily and safely alongside dogs.

Dogs Trust’s free Be Dog Smart safety workshops are designed to complement areas of the curriculum and generally support classroom learning. They aim to provide children between the ages of 7-11 with the knowledge and understanding they need to act responsibly and safely around dogs in their homes and those they may see out and about.

Each workshop includes a pretend dog as its focus, with the aim of developing compassion and consideration for all living beings, through a creative and interactive learning experience.

Emily Mayo, Education and Community Officer for Dogs Trust in Devon, said:

“Returning to school after the summer break is a really exciting time as it means we are able to deliver our fun packed Be Dog Smart workshops to thousands of children.

By teaching children how to behave safely we believe we can improve the welfare of dogs, both in the homes of the children we teach, as well as dogs they may meet when out and about in the community.

We aim to harness loving, safe relationship between children and their four legged friends so that interactions are safe and enjoyable for all.”

For more information about ‘Be Dog Smart’ workshops, please visit www.bedogsmart.org.uk   To book a ‘Be Dog Smart’ workshop, please contact Emily on emily.mayo@dogstrust.org.uk
