Thanks to a #suezuk grant, we are able to replace our current toilets on Canalside. Replacing the current system with bespoke composting toilets, along with the installation of a brand new #disabled toilet. Lots of work to do, watch out for updates on the progress.

We are excited to announce that we now have a permanent orienteering course on site for groups to access. There are a number of courses which will all be available to download from our website. Why not add it to your activity programme over the coming months. British Orient

We are really pleased to support The Great Tommy Sleep Out tonight. Well done to Mark for organising. #greattommysleepout

First of the two new composing toilets from WooWoo Waterless Toilets installed and operational. The second is well on the way to being completed. Thanks to SUEZ UK for the grant support. Thanks to all the volunteers who came and volunteered with us this weekend.

Really enjoyed the weekend watching Rangers Football Club on Saturday and having a ground tour on Sunday.

Home for the week

Brew with a view this morning

Stunning day again. What a superb week.

Did you know: One of our first grants at the early beginnings of Canalside was a grant to purchase this barn from East Lancashire Masonic Charity. We have named the barn Acre House Barn after the farm which used to stand on this site.

We love this picture from today's One Voice #HAF programme. Our fire shelter helped keep 40 kids dry and happy 😀

Our new disabled access waterless toilet has arrived from WooWoo Waterless Toilets . A few days of volunteer time to erect the building now required. Thanks to Fagan & Whalley Ltd for delivering to site, and to Ethan, a former St Georges Mill Hill Scout who was the delivery driver.

New activity alert! Can your group build a waterproof den? Using tarps, branches & teamwork, kids take on the challenge in our new Den Building Area! All equipment provided.

A stunning evening for our weekly volunteer night.

None of what we do would be possible without our brilliant volunteers... And most were on site tonight giving their time on our weekly volunteer night. #volunteer #scouting #Environment #blackburnwithdarwen

Relaxing after a busy day. Great to attend the ordination of Rev Anthony Walsh this morning. Gardening this afternoon and now some admin for Canalside Activity and Environment Centre. #VE80 service in the morning with the Scout Group at St Georges.

Had a great afternoon at the Royal Garden Party. We were invited to attend as St Georges Scout Group were awarded The King's Award in 2025. A very special day.
