FREE interactive tools for families along the canal side.

September 15, 2025

As part of the pilot project, funded by People’s Postcode Lottery, we designed wellbeing tools for families which are now live on the Canal & River Trust website, the team at Muddy Publishing did a brilliant job bringing our tools to life, these included:

Canal Art
Canal’s Story & Boat Creation
Being in the Present Moment
Dragonfly Breathing

You can access downloads of these here on the Canal & River Trust website.

Retrain Your Brain to Look for Joy

Glimmers are the tiny moments of joy, warmth, or connection that are easy to miss — but when you start noticing them, everything changes.

Since I started noticing Glimmers, my whole perspective has shifted. It's a game changer!

Nice to feel valued and supported as an individual. We often miss out our own care in the struggle to set up all the many school and group sessions that we run throughout the year.
