Taking good news to every young person in Bath

One Eighty

One Eighty is our mobile skate park project. We run a weekly session on Tuesday evenings from 7.30-9.30pm attracting young people from all over the city and beyond. We set up our ten piece mobile skate park at a local youth centre. Young people can skate the ramps, chill out with a skate DVD or magazine in the seating area or practice their 'tech deck' skills with our mini skate park for fingerboards! Half way through the night we break for a 'Think Slot', where there is the opportunity to listen to a short talk or discuss topics picked by young people. These have ranged from experiencing God, to drugs and alcohol and how we think about the future.

If you want to find out more or come along please feel free to turn up at 7.30pm any Tuesday during term time. The cost is £2 for members and £3 for non-members. You can also find out more by going to www.one-eighty.org.uk.

The mobile skate park and trained staff are available for other organisations wanting to use skateboarding to engage with young people and have travelled all over the South West and even further afield to deliver skate sessions for local authorities, local churches and other organisations. We also run the skate park at the Greenbelt Festival in Cheltenham every year. If you would like to hire this facility then please get in touch with Dave via the Bath YFC office.
