Get involved

Navigable waterways are an important part of our island story. A dedicated group of volunteers in Nottinghamshire helped bring some of it to life this year with three fabulous, fun events as they participated for the first time. Seeing the festival as an opportunity to promote their work to the wider community, they also found working on it helped them develop new skills, resources and, best of all, brought the team closer together.

Each year 8 projects are recognised across Europe and awarded up to €10,000 to celebrate local community heritage. This year the team at Love Oswestry secured this significant grant to invest in their programme.

From providing maps to highlighting quiet times, there are some simple things we can do to make our spaces more accessible, for more people to enjoy. For Neurodiversity Celebration week Justine Reilly introduces us to The Neurodiverse Museum and some of their top tips.
