Keep our Lake District as the natural beauty it is by being #LakeDistrictKind and picking up your litter 🏔️

It's #BeWaterAware week. This week learn about how to reduce your risk of drowning by making safe choices around water and to know what to do if an emergency should happen.

Help us to step up our climate fighting work in 2024 and create a happier, more climate-friendly future for our young people. All donations will be doubled this week, so it’s your chance to make twice the impact.
