We have received funding from The National Lottery Community Fund to develop a Young People’s Hub at the base in Beeches Road, Loughborough. Young volunteers will be able to take part in a range of water-based educational, environmental and heritage projects, gaining new experiences, learning new skills and having fun. While enjoyable, the young people will gain greater confidence, self-belief, and important collaboration skills.
We will be rolling out educational, heritage, environmental and creative projects for local young people on the local waterways and at our base in Loughborough.
Watch out for exciting updates over the coming months, along with ways you can become involved.
