Since establishing the charity in 2013, Charlie and a growing team of volunteers have been returning to Palestine on a regular basis; working with local communities to build skateparks and provide skateboarding lessons and equipment to young people across the West Bank.
SkatePal is working towards establishing a self-sustaining skate scene for years to come. In 2019 Aram Sabbah, one of the first skaters in the West Bank, joined the team as the full-time Local Manager and set base in the Ramallah office. Aram is gradually overtaking all on-site operations, including co-ordinating the classes, volunteer programme, establishing a mobile skateshop and many more.
