It’s and we want to say thank you 🙏 to every single person who’s helped us get this far. We have big plans for the future - let’s keep bringing smiles like these to young people’s faces.

Danny is one of charity trustees. A special needs teacher based in London, he has a lifelong love of being outdoors and in the ocean.

When not teaching, Danny will be found outdoors, whether that’s hiking, diving, swimming or attempting (badly!) to surf.

Danny says: “Being a trustee is incredibly important to me because I believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience and connect with nature.”

“I’m passionate about helping create access to the ocean and the outdoors for people who might not otherwise have the chance, and I’m proud to support a charity that makes those experiences possible.”

Great to have you on board Danny

This is Kate - one of our charity trustees, well known to many in the London surf community.

Kate first discovered surfing in 2016 with a few waves on holiday but not much progress (we know the feeling). In 2020 things changed and she committed to surfing more in an effort to move past the ‘start from scratch’ approach. During the pandemic, she switched attention to surfskating on dry land when it wasn’t possible to access waves (she still coaches surfskating when landlocked in London today).

In 2023, Kate took a break from the 9-5 to surf her way around Latin America and Asia. 

Back in the UK, she trained as a surf coach, sharing her passion and experience with others. She comes on all our trips and is a key figure in the water, helping build our young people’s confidence. Kate is also now a qualified adaptive surf instructor, better equipping her when coaching those with additional needs due to physical or cognitive disabilities, learning difficulties, illness or injuries.

With all these skills we’re super lucky to have Kate on board. She also coaches with The Wave Project and Concrete Waves London and, in 2025, was appointed as a coach for the Team England Para (Adaptive) surf squad. 

Kate says: “Surfing has transformed my life in so many ways - it’s my passion, my escape, my therapy, not to mention a constant physical and mental challenge, but it has also offered me the opportunity to travel the world, meet amazing people from countless cultures and backgrounds, and become a part of a global surf community - I wish I‘d stumbled upon it sooner. When the opportunity came up to join City Kids Surfing as a Trustee, I jumped at the chance - City Kids represents everything I am passionate about and shows our kids that the ocean and its benefits are for everyone”.

Thank you Kate 🙏
See you in the water 🏄‍♀️

Khadija is an artist whose practice is deeply rooted in her connection to the ocean. A Norwegian-born Senegalese artist based in London, she discovered surfing during her undergraduate years and quickly fell in love with it.

With a background working in communications for arts organisations and not-for-profit charities, Khadija is hoping to bring these skills together with her passion for surfing to help City Kids Surfing reach more families and young people.

Khadija has been a trustee since September 2024, and when not in the studio creating work inspired by surfing and swimming, she can be found in the water.
