Very clear and easy to follow instructions. Jasmine is super lovely and despite a large class she's able to address where you need to improve without making you feel singled out. Would love to attend... See more
Fun session with options depending on your level but also challenging, which is what makes progress. A combination of free skate, specific drills and easy dance routines. I would recommend it to anyon... See more

Written by the company
Empowr CIC is a London-based Community Interest Company dedicated to improving health, confidence, and community connection through inclusive roller-skating experiences. Founded to make movement accessible, enjoyable, and socially impactful, Empowr delivers a wide range of sessions for children, young people, adults, and families across South London and beyond. Our programmes combine physical activity with experiential learning, creative expression, and positive social engagement. From weekly skate lessons and fitness-based skate workouts to holiday camps, school partnerships, and large-scale community roller discos, every session is designed to be welcoming, supportive, and empowering for all ability levels. We actively remove barriers to participation by offering affordable pricing, free community sessions, skate hire, and protective equipment. Empowr CIC is led by experienced coaches and supported by trained assistants and young leaders who act as positive role models within the community. Safety, safeguarding, and inclusion sit at the heart of everything we do. Beyond skating, Empowr creates spaces where people build confidence, friendships, resilience, and transferable life skills. We work closely with local councils, schools, and grassroots organisations to reach under-served communities and create long-term social impact. Empowr is more than skating — it is a movement for well-being, belonging, and empowerment through shared experience.

Happy 🛼😊👍🏾
I had been lurking in the Empowr CIC WhatsApp group for a while. I'd recommend the reasonably priced, well-structured courses. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable; the attendees are friendly too. There are plenty of events and meet ups. The Empowr social media and marketing champions diversity which is important as I'm a mature rollerskater at Beginner Foundation level.
The booking system is straightforward so I booked a 4 week course in April and May 2026. I'm pleased with the progress I'm making. It's worth the journey from NW10.

Lovely people & great sessions!
The classes and the team are lovely and the sessions are very affordable (which I’ve personally been incredibly grateful for). I initially went in not feeling very confident about a lot of moves but have been able to include several new skills to my archive!!
The owner Jasmine (who is really friendly), creates a safe and comfortable space to fail forwards, so you don’t feel embarrassed if you make mistakes, and it means the vibe of the classes are always super chill.
Very positive
Very positive. My daughters skating has improved significantly. Now she is trying skating at the park. Where she didn't have the confidence to do this before

Brilliant!
I only take the time to write a review if something is exceptionally good or horrendously bad.
These classes are BRILLIANT! Instructors are knowledgeable, patient and approachable which made for a comfortable, unpressured learning environment. On top of this they are extremely attentive whilst providing instruction and especially when you fall.
There were many returning students, which speaks for itself.
Highly recommend for all ages.

Wonderful community driven org.
Wonderful community driven organisation! We were recommended to give the kids skate session a go through another skating community, i am very happy I gave Empowr a chance. My child loves the sessions, has improved confidence week on week and feels like part of the community. I especially like the safety measures in place- ensuring the kids understand the meed for safety is so important in London for those who desire to skate outdoors.
Never fails to boost my week
I love the space Empowr have created. I go to the Jam skate on a Thursday and it never fails to boost my week. You can do as much or as little as you like and is such a great way to keep active take your mind off the stresses of life. I’m always really annoyed if I ever have to miss it.
