Yesterday evening, we held our Promise Evening for our winning West Cumbrian students awarded our 2023 bursary prizes. The students from various local schools will pick up their cheques in September. Well done to all winning students!

Our latest ICanToo activity was a trip to the RWE UK Robin Rigg Wind Farm. The students were taught about the components of a turbine & learnt about renewable energy. They were then given the opportunity to travel out to Solway Firth on a vessel, to see the turbines up close! 🚤
