Children, 'Let's Go Wild!' at the Welsh Harp in August. Lot's of exciting activities

 Let's Go Wild at Welsh Harp!

Come join us and explore the Welsh Harp Reservoir this Summer for FREE activities at the Welsh Harp Environmental Education Centre. These activities are part of the Community Roots Project (Brent) who are working in partnership with Thames21, Wembley Central Big Local and supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery. 

 

The Community Roots project (Brent) focuses on engaging with the local community (specifically non-users) living within 1km of our waterways and improving their perceptions of the water to feel safer, happier and healthier by the water. We champion the many benefits that our waterways offer and encourage more people to use and enjoy them by offering them free wellbeing activities in the area.
