Flo Charitable Trust is a recently established charity who operate Flo Skatepark in Sneinton for the benefit of the community. We are passionate about skateboarding and the ice culture of art, music and fashion that surround it. We believe in its ability to engage with young people who are not motivated by more traditional sports especially as skateboarding will form part of the next Olympics!

The programme we have developed with Stone Soup provides 90-minute coach-led skateboarding, three times a week for the Key stage 3 and 4 classes which adds breadth to the BTEC sport curriculum. We want to ensure our sessions support the strategies Stone Soup adopt to deliver their learning offer and we are excited to develop our programme and start to add art and photography opportunities as we build our relationship with the staff and pupils.

We are delighted how the groups from Stone Soup have engaged with our activities and it is genuinely a highlight of the week for all of our coaches to see the students get stuck in and progress. We hope this is the beginning of a lasting relationship that will have a positive impact on the education and social development of the students involved and hopefully also creates some awesome skateboarders!
