For many, the ocean is a playground...
For our Athletes, it’s a classroom for resilience and a safe space where they can be accepted and celebrated for who they truly are.
We believe that accessible opportunities to enjoy watersports and our beautiful coastline should never be behind a paywall. We never want a price tag to stand in the way of someone getting the help and opportunities they deserve. Because of this we are committed to providing our therapy sessions completely free of charge.
Since 2017 over 1,000 individuals have benefitted from our services and hundreds access on a regular basis!
Every breakthrough, every smile, and every moment of healing is powered entirely by people like you.
We receive no financial support from our local government, and the charity is completely reliant upon donations to cover all its costs, which exceed £300,000 each year.
From our heroic team of specially trained Surf Therapy Instructors to the adaptive equipment and world class facilities, your support truly enables us to continue changing more lives each year.
Join the Tide Tribe
The ocean is widespread and, with your help, our support can be too. While one-off donations help us survive, monthly donations help us thrive. A recurring gift allows us to tackle our growing annual overheads with confidence, knowing that we have the funds to say ‘YES’ to the next person who needs our support.

£5 a month can help us to run a 1-1 session every single year.
£10

£25

Many people like to leave a gift to charity in their Will. A Will is an effective way to plan for the needs of your family and loved ones. By leaving a gift to Healing Waves in your Will, you can help us create a better future for our neurodiverse and mental health community. Your legacy could help us be there for future generations.
Residuary gift
This type of gift is a share of your estate, for example 5%. Many people divide their estate into 100 equal units. After giving to family and loved ones, they then gift a certain number of units to Healing Waves. Unlike a cash gift, leaving a share of your estate means your gift won't devalue over time. This type of gift is the most useful to us.
Cash gift
A cash gift, known as a pecuniary gift, is a fixed sum of money, for example £5000. These gifts are paid out of your estate first, and then what's left is divided as per the instructions in your Will.
Special gift
A specific gift is a nominated object, for example an artwork, a collection of records or an antique. If you do not want to keep a particular item in your family, then this could be a good way to pass the item on.
Useful wording for writing your Will
We recommend that you have your Will written by a solicitor or a professional Will-writing service. This helps prevent any future legal issues. If you would like to leave a gift to Healing Waves in your Will, you and your solicitor can use the formal wording below. This will help ensure your wishes are carried out.
Residuary gift
I give [insert percentage] of my residuary estate to Healing Waves (registered charity number 218), Upper Sheil, La Grande Route de St Martin, Jersey JE3 6JR, to be applied for its general purposes. I declare that the receipt of the Finance Director or appropriate Officer shall be a complete discharge to my trustees.
Cash (pecuniary) gift
I give [insert amount] to Healing Waves (registered charity number 218), Upper Sheil, La Grande Route de St Martin, Jersey JE3 6JR, to be applied for its general purposes. I declare that the receipt of the Finance Director or appropriate Officer shall be a complete discharge to my trustees.
