It makes me feel sweaty thinking about it now, during one of the hottest days this year we trained a new cohort of Canal & River Trust In the Wild Leaders; to deliver our three Week School Waterside Programme and one off family wellebng session.
The volunteer team give up so much of their FREE time to help others, and the tools we teach them not only teach them tools for kids but for them too.
I was talking to one of the volunteers who regularly takes kids out canoeing on the water. She told me how our session opened her eyes about the words and language she uses with them. It’s such a brilliant point, because small changes have a massive impact. It was great to see the immediate impact from the sessions.
