ABOUT MSGP
Melanin Skate Gals & Pals is an initiative by Skate Gals & Pals using sport as a tool for development, social innovation and empowerment, we encourage adults from marginalised communities to be more active and make use of their local environment, whilst connecting to a global prominent skate community. We cater for the needs of those who are often excluded from sport activities such as marginalised genders, the LGBTQIA+ community and Black and other People Of Colour.
We create a safe space environment, where our beneficiaries can take part in physical activities and community building away from harassment, discrimination, marginalisation, racism, sexism and queer and transphobia.
We provide a variety of activities catered to the needs of our communities: Weekly skate meet-up sessions, creative and holistic workshops and skate trips away for BPOC adults.
