Skate farm news

Your donation powers more than just the lights!

Oct 1, 2025

We’re buzzing to announce our latest crowdfunder: The Skate Farm Energy for Tomorrow! Even better, British Gas are backing us with matched funding, meaning every pound you donate is triples in power. This is our chance to supercharge the farm with clean energy and a sustainable future - and we need you with us.

Why this matters

The Skate Farm isn’t just an indoor skatepark. We’re a community-first CIC, built for inclusion, education and fun. Now we’re ready to take the next big step - powering our park with renewable energy and making our space even more sustainable.

With the support of the British Gas Energy for Tomorrow Fund, your donations will go 3x as far. £10 pledged means £30 of impact. £50 becomes £150. Together, we can make this vision a reality.


What your support funds

Every donation helps us:

  • Install solar panels, battery storage and energy-efficient systems

  • Create a climate education hub for young people

  • Expand subsidised sessions and school outreach across Sussex

  • Green our park with sustainable upgrades and waste reduction

  • Run inclusive events and add accessible facilities for all

This isn’t just about energy bills - it’s about building a future-ready skatepark that inspires the next generation.

Our community impact

From day one, Skate Farm has been about more than skateboarding. We’re here to give young people and families across Sussex a safe, positive, year-round space. We’re tackling the lack of youth venues with a focus on physical activity, mental well-being, and environmental education.

This crowdfunder is the next step - making sure the farm isn’t just alive today, but thriving tomorrow.


Be part of it

We’re so excited to get this campaign rolling, but we can’t do it alone. Every single pledge makes a difference — and right now, it’s worth three times as much thanks to British Gas.

Let’s power the future of skating together.
