Ellesmere Port In the Wild Leader Training 2026

Brilliant to be back at Ellesmere Port to be training our next cohort of Canal & River Trust staff and volunteers. It was the perfect Autumn weather and the enthusiasm from all the participants was amazing.

Highlight got me was just sitting by the Canal at the middle of our training session for the Canal and River Trust trust, in Ellesmere Port and it just reminded me how important it is to just be still and take a moment for ourselves.

The power of blue spaces is amazing, so its great that we can spread these tools to even more people, so they can roll them out in there area.

Retrain Your Brain to Look for Joy

Glimmers are the tiny moments of joy, warmth, or connection that are easy to miss — but when you start noticing them, everything changes.

Since I started noticing Glimmers, my whole perspective has shifted. It's a game changer!

Nice to feel valued and supported as an individual. We often miss out our own care in the struggle to set up all the many school and group sessions that we run throughout the year.
