Truly incredible stuff from Fraser Doughty and Welcome Skate Store who both seem to have no end to supporting their community. Read below then watch the video by Hilda Quick to get a better insight.
“Woodhouse Moore takes up 26 Hectares of Hyde Park, most of which we see in the bubble of the skatepark. If you ever manage to get yourself there pre 10 a.m you’ll see Park runners, ultimate frisbee purveyors, mediaeval combatants and the occasional football team training for their local league.
In 2021 Hyde Park Women’s Football Club had their container broken into. This held more than just balls, cones and whatever else their teams used as equipment but also the youth teams. With everything stolen the 25 have had to borrow postgame kits from both youth and men’s teams. Already unfunded and volunteer-led the group have put together fundraisers in the forms of raffles and Pub Quizzes at one of our favourite places Hyde Park Book Club.
The team’s self driven DIY style caught our attention via Instagram and we decided to do something about it. As skateboarders Hyde Park is somewhat where our community thrives and as a skateshop we found that extending our support to HPWFC was the right thing to do.” Fraser Doughty
