One Eighty is a mobile skate project, run by Bath
Youth for Christ.
Our mission statement is: To relevantly and contextually
proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ through words,
actions and example to young people who are a part
of the skate culture and community of Bath.
Our aims are:
• To provide a regular, indoor skate facility
for young people in Bath
• To provide young people with information, advice
and support
• To offer space for those who attend 180 sessions
to explore for themselves the Christian faith, through
spoken word, group work, multi-media and or any other
appropriate medium.
• To meet young people in skate spots and on
the streets as well as at 180 sessions
• To partner and work with local schools.
• To help other organisations and churches to
reach skaters effectively.
• To befriend, serve and partner with the local
skate industry.
This turns into the following areas of work:
Weekly Sessions - We run a weekly session
in Centre 69 youth centre, Weston, Bath on a Tuesday

skate spots and parks. Detached work is to build relationships
with young people who don?t come to 180 weekly sessions.

scale skate events in the South West. For information
