On The Ground - Sharing Your Stories: July's NSC Spotlight

Skating Sessions That Inspire, Empower and Uplift

This month, we’re rolling the spotlight onto the amazing young people who’ve been gliding, spinning, and building confidence at the Pimlico Foundation’s Roller Skating sessions and loving every minute on wheels!

Jul 25 NSC Spotlight On the Ground

Every Friday afternoon, the Queen Mother Sports Centre (223 Vauxhall Bridge Road, Pimlico, SW1V 1EL) between 16:30 – 17:45 p.m, comes alive with energy, laughter and wheels in motion, all thanks to the Pimlico Foundation’s Roller Skating sessions for children and young people.

Session Details:

These weekly sessions offer more than just skating, they’re a safe, supportive space where young people can express themselves, grow in confidence, and feel part of a positive, uplifting community. So grab your skates (or borrow a pair) and roll into the fun – your Friday just got way more exciting!

Here’s what the participants had to say:

“Having a space where I feel safe, supported, and free to be myself has made a huge difference to my emotional and mental well-being. Coming here is the highlight of my week."
