What an amazing day with Canal & River Trust - Explorers

🌿 Team day out at Hatton Locks! 🚶‍♀️💬🧘‍♂️

We had a brilliant time trialling new activities with Happy Confident Kids from our Let’s Go Outdoors programme, funded by Sport England. From dragonfly breathing by the canal to reconnecting as a team, it was a day full of fresh air, nature connection and inspiration. 🌬️🐉

So great to spend time together in person and be reminded of the heart of our work—helping children boost their wellbeing through time in nature. 💚🌳
