After every car rally, someone has to clean up! Luckily for us, we have a wonderful team of volunteers who are always ready to get stuck into a good cleanup. Every bin emptied, every scrap of litter hunted down and cleaned away, until you'd never know we'd had an event the night before! If you'd like to join our amazing team of volunteers, please get in touch!

We've had an absolutely gorgeous May, with plenty of sunshine and adventures. While June has been a little bit damper, it's still been lovely weather for a little adventure at Moira Furnace, and Frankie, our little dragon, and their friends agree! So why not pop down at the weekends and come for a ride on the Joseph Wilkes Canal Boat?
