About Lost Projects
Lost Projects is a grassroots non-profit organization that merges music, art, and skating in
a secure indoor environment, welcoming individuals of all ages and skill levels. Our space,
entirely self-funded and constructed by founders Gavin, Andrew, and Ed, is a testament to
our post-school passion for establishing an affordable and relaxed setting for self-
expression.
Within Lost Projects, we've established a skate suite where novices and experts alike can
enjoy indoor skating regardless of weather conditions. We offer skateboarding lessons for
all ages and skill levels, as well as group lessons for those under 16. Additionally, our
unique music studio, fashioned from a 57-seater local school bus, provides a dedicated
space for music creation, free from distractions. We understand that learning new skills or
exploring interests can be daunting in formal environments, that's why our team is here to
make you feel at ease and supported in achieving your goals.
Local graffiti artists contribute to our vibrant atmosphere, decorating our spaces with their
creativity. Additionally, we provide rehearsal space for individuals to comfortably prepare
for performances, concerts, or events. Whether you're eager to learn new skills or already
seasoned, our doors are open to all.
On Thursdays, we host an after-school skate club for under 16s, and we organise various
activities throughout the school holidays.
Empowering the younger generation, regardless of age, gender, or ability, lies at the core of
our mission. Recognising the challenges faced by our local community, where income and
employment levels rank among the bottom 10%, we strive to make our offerings
accessible to all.
Gavin Lambert (Director)
I’ve lived in Glastonbury my whole life and have always been drawn to music and
skateboarding. There's a strong local scene for both, and growing up around that really
shaped who I am.
I mainly make boom bap hip hop, but I'm into all kinds of music and always up for trying
new sounds. School wasn’t really my thing found it tough but music and skating gave
me focus and helped me keep going when things were difficult. They’ve always been a way
for me to stay grounded and motivated.
Now, as well as being the ideas and muscle behind Lost Projects, I'm a skateboarding
coach and love helping others discover what skating can do for them whether it’s building
confidence, staying active, or just having fun. It's amazing to see how something so simple
can make such a big difference.
I met the people behind Lost Projects through shared passions and similar struggles. As I
started to get a better handle on my own mental health, I knew I wanted to create
something that could support others going through the same. That’s what Lost Projects is
all about using music, creativity, and movement to make a positive impact in the
community, especially around mental health and wellbeing.
Andrew Bisgrove (Director)
I’ve always been more of a hands-on learner. The traditional education route wasn’t for
me, so after school I focused on building practical skills through experience — learning by
doing, figuring things out, and solving problems as they come. Over the years I’ve become
pretty versatile, whether it’s electrical work, building things from scratch, or fixing the
unfixable.
One of my favourite side projects was creating Binskankerz — a fully functional wheelie bin
sound system. It started out as a fun idea and turned into something that really captured
people’s imagination.
As a founding member of Lost Projects, I’ve been part of shaping the vision from day one —
turning ideas into real, hands-on projects that serve the community. From building the
Skate Suite from scratch to now developing the climbing wall, it’s been all about creating
spaces that bring people together, encourage movement, and inspire creativity.
As Lost Projects continues to evolve and grow, it feels good to be part of something that
not only pushes our creativity but also gives something back to the local community.
Outside of Lost Projects, I work as a self-employed electrician, spend my summers on the
festival circuit, and escape to sunnier spots during the winter - but I'm always on hand to
help out, even if it's from a beach somewhere!
Tash Norris (Safeguarding lead, Director)
I first got involved with Lost Projects when my cousin Gavin asked me to help out at an
open day — and I’ve never looked back. What really drew me in was the passion behind it
all. Everyone involved genuinely cares about building something positive and creative for
the community. It’s such a unique and welcoming space, and it’s amazing to see people of
all ages connecting and supporting one another, especially in the Skate Suite.
Being part of Lost Projects has also rekindled my love for rollerskating. I used to inline
skate and spent a lot of time at roller discos growing up. Now I’ve got myself a pair of quads
and I’m slowly getting back into the flow — it’s been a fun journey with a few minor
accidents!
One of the highlights for me is helping with the After-School Skate Club and Holiday Clubs.
I’ve always loved working with young people — probably would’ve ended up in that line of
work if I hadn’t rushed out of school when I did! Since joining the team, I’ve completed an
Introduction to Youth Work course and trained to be a Designated Safeguarding Lead,
which has deepened my connection to the role and the young people we support.
I also help with admin tasks and running our social media, trying keeping everything ticking
behind the scenes! I’m excited to keep growing and evolving, both personally and as part of
the amazing team at Lost Projects.

Mission Statement
At Lost Projects, our mission is to provide high-quality creative and fitness-focused
services that support and uplift our local community. Through skateboarding, bouldering,
music, and art, we’re building not just a brand—but a movement rooted in connection,
creativity, and purpose.
Founded on personal experience and shared perspective, Lost Projects exists to offer a
safe, inspiring space where people can grow, express themselves, and support one
another. Our vision is to create a trusted urban arts community that promotes mental well-
being, self-belief, and collective empowerment.
We are committed to values of integrity, service, excellence, and teamwork—and we
aim to reflect these in everything we do. Over the coming years, our goal is to secure
funding that will allow us to expand access to our services—especially for those from
disadvantaged backgrounds, difficult home environments, or who are navigating mental
health challenges.
We’re also working to partner with youth clubs, schools, homeschool groups, and support
networks to make our projects as inclusive and impactful as possible.
You can help us grow this vision. Lost Projects is built on community—and we believe
lasting change happens when people come together around a shared purpose. You can
help us grow this vision in a few powerful ways:
• Spread the word – Talk about us with friends, family, and anyone passionate about
mental health, creativity, or youth development.
• Follow & share – Connect with us on social media and share our work. Every like,
comment, and repost helps us reach new people and build momentum.
• Support financially – Donations of any size help us maintain and expand our
spaces, equipment, and programs—making them more accessible for everyone.
• Keep us in mind – Whether you’re part of a funding body, a local organisation, or
just in the right room at the right time, mentioning Lost Projects in funding
conversations or partnerships can open doors we can't reach alone.
Together, we can build something meaningful, lasting, and truly community driven.
