A social enterprise like Let's Roll deserves all of the exclamation marks. Why? Because some of the most invigorating community groups are those that combine fun, exercise, engagement and youth, by mixing it up, stirring the pot and waiting to see what kind of good comes out of it. Based in London, UK, they offer programs as well as one-off events and weekly and monthly programs for individual kids and the family at large.
"It's a young vibrant company concentrating work in deprived areas to bring services to places and to people who may never had accessed the sport otherwise," the team shares on its website. "Let’s Roll is unique because we provide skating related services that will have a positive impact on nationwide issues such as: increasing the participation of girls in sport, obesity, gang prevention and reducing the numbers who fall in the NEET category."
And that's something to shout about.
