Wellness Riders is a community-led initiative running adaptive skate sessions for young people with disabilities and additional needs.
We create calm, supported environments where participants can try skateboarding at their own pace – with guidance, space, and no pressure.
Our focus is simple:
• Movement
• Confidence
• Connection
Everything we do is built around meeting people where they’re at, adapting to individual needs, and keeping things relaxed, positive, and supportive.
This is a drop-in adaptive skate session. Supported by Auckland Council & Spectrum Care.
Our coaching approach is adaptive, with support tailored to each individual’s needs —
helping build confidence, resilience, wellbeing, and connection through the joy of
skateboarding.
Participants can arrive anytime during the session window and join small group rotations, with time for rest and support as needed.
What’s included:
• Guided adaptive coaching
• Skateboards and protective gear
• Indoor and outdoor skate areas
• Quiet, sensory-friendly space
• Music and a relaxed social environment
Support workers and whānau are welcome to attend.
