Story

Hey 

I was all set too visit Palestine with the charity Skatepal in March 2020 but unfortunately was unable to make it due too covid. Last year I made some t shirts as a fundraiser. I am still planning to go when everything is safe and under control. For now I would love to share these new jumpers I have designed too raise more funds. the drawing is done by me, embroidered by Dexter Harrison @ Greenlightgarments and tye dyed by the mighty Patxi @princesstiedyana. All profits go to Skatepal charity like the first shirts I made 


Jumpers are very limited (15 altogether) and cost a minimum off £45 donation too this page which goes straight to Skatepal's amazing charity work. Just email me your size and address and we can sort the rest from there. All other questions are welcome! soldhariwalbisset@gmail.com 

Hopefully will get too do the volunteer trip next year. Much love and respect :)

Hi Guys,

REGARDING T SHIRTS: please email me sol_smith@live.co.uk with size, colour and address

You all know how much I love skateboarding and I am super excited to announce that I'll be going to West Bank for the whole of April this year as a volunteer for SkatePal

SkatePal is a non-profit organisation that works with communities throughout Palestine to enhance the lives of young people and promote the benefits of skateboarding. They provide lessons, equipment and teachers to the young people living in Palestine and have built two skateparks in the West Bank in the last five years!                                        

Palestine has a large young population living in very difficult circumstances. This project gives the opportunity for them to invest in their community, create a safe space for themselves, learn new skills, and have fun!

I think skateboarding has always been a very positive influence in my life and has connected me with people of all kinds all over the world. It is very exciting to have this opportunity to go there.

As volunteers, we are asked to fundraise to allow the charity to bring skateboarding to the kids of Palestine. You can check this Promo video to learn more about their work. www.youtu.be/Cz2LDXb_ixU

I'll be helping SkatePal with all the amazing work they do, including delivering regular skate coaching

Donations over £20 will receive a t shirt designed by me. Please comment your size and colour preference with email. Free postage worldwide!  ❤ or email me sol_smith@live.co.uk
