At The Wave Forward, we provide a versatile, supportive, and active environment where young people can thrive. Based in Bournemouth, our alternative provision offers a dynamic mix of activities, including baking, cooking, climbing, water sports, racket sports, ball sports, arts and crafts, woodwork, whittling, and forest school experiences. These engaging sessions are designed to keep young people motivated while building essential life skills.

We also recognise that some young people benefit from calming activities and a quieter environment. Our studio time provides a peaceful space for creativity, reflection, and focus, allowing individuals to engage in mindfulness, art, music, and other therapeutic activities at their own pace.

Our highly qualified mentors take a 1:1 approach, ensuring each young person receives personalised support to help them gain confidence, build trust, develop social skills, and work towards their goals. Whether it’s transitioning back into school or exploring post-16 options, we always go at their pace, empowering them to take positive steps forward.

We are here to provide a fun, safe, and inspiring space where every young person can learn, grow, and succeed in a way that works best for them.
