START FUNDRAISING

As a charity, fundraising events are vital in raising funds for the mental health work Waves of Wellness delivers.

They enable our surf therapy programs to continue being provided for free to people in our community.

Sign up and join the WOW family in a fundraising challenge, or start your own!

How to get involved

Ducktober will be back in October 2024!

Join us for a daily duck in cold water this October to improve your mental health whilst fundraising to help others improve theirs.

Whether you swim, surf, plunge into an ice bath or jump under a cold shower… take to it like a duck to water!

Ducktober 2024

A daily duck for mental health


Shell-EBRATE yOUR BIRTHDAY

Think outside the gift box and show your loved ones how much mental health surf therapy means to you with a Facebook fundraiser for WOW! A birthday fundraiser doesn't necessarily replace receiving physical gifts or a celebratory party (we are all about party waves), however, it's the gift of helping to change and possibly save a life. 

A gift that keeps on giving
