Since our inception in June 2019, we have been able to deliver free regular and reach-out sessions to local young people in North Glasgow.
We value the opportunity to engage young people in accessing and enjoying their local waterway, the Forth and Clyde canal, and the surrounding green spaces which including the Hamiltonhill Claypits Local nature reserve. With a focus on positive sports experiences, friendship and time spent in nature, we see these experiences as integral for contributing to improved physical and mental wellbeing of our young people.
