Today we’re celebrating an incredible milestone — 10 years of Canalside Activity and Environment Centre! 🎉
Here’s to the past 10 years — and to many more to come! 🌿💚

Are you an Anglican Presbyter or Deacon and looking to re-plant a church in the North West of England?
If so, please do be in touch.
We are soon to launch an excellent House-for-Duty post at St John’s Tottington.
Ideal for a creative bi-vocational minister.

Winter may be quieter at the Activity Centre, but our volunteers are hard at work 🛠️
From repairing canoes to improving boat storage, their behind-the-scenes efforts keep our equipment safe, efficient, and ready for the busy season ahead. Huge thanks to the team!

Great meeting this morning with Emma and Sarah from @CanalRiverTrust Community Roots Pennine Lancashire team 🤝
Positive discussions on partnership working to help get more people outdoors and active along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Blackburn. A really exciting initiative!

A very productive meeting this afternoon with Anthony from BWD Active Outdoors Hub, exploring how we can work together to encourage more people to enjoy the outdoors.
Looking forward to what this partnership can bring!
