Free Border Skate was founded by Salam LADC UK as a part of its play and community programs for refugee children in Lebanon. Dedicated to teaching kids confidence and community building through roller skating, the program provides a safe space for youth in areas of extreme poverty and conflict. In 2020, the program expanded to Nicaragua alongside the launch of our Skate, Surf, Yoga Retreat. Our program in Nicaragua follows the same mission, offering local children opportunities to build confidence and community through roller skating.

A unique vision, upheld by our community.
The Free Border Skate program operates with a unique funding model globally, with 50% of its support coming from bookings of our retreats and 50% from donations made directly to our governing organization. This ensures that every retreat participant contributes to the sustainability of the programs in both Nicaragua and Lebanon, and those who cannot join are still given the opportunity to make an impact. All contributions are tax-deductible for U.K. residents.
