This summer, Spinnaker Lake is the venue for an exciting series of water activities for children, organized by Ethical Activities. We’re offering five evening sessions during the summer holidays at no cost, beginning on the 30th of July. The sessions are designed to give priority to children who have recently faced challenges, including family issues, financial hardship, caring responsibilities, or difficulties at school. We’ve collaborated with schools to select those who would benefit the most. Additionally, we have a few spots remaining and maintain a waiting list for any last-minute openings.

No swimming ability is needed; buoyancy aids will be provided and free transport is available from Carvers Recreation Ground, departing at 17:30 and returning at 19:30.
