Despite the current adverse conditions many amazing organisations are continuing to do great work, across the UK and internationally, and here we’re excited to share with you some of the great things our members have been doing, and the fab opportunities and resources they’re offering.

PECT: Brand New Resource – Nature’s School!
Looking for educational, inspiring and fun activities for your children to do at home? PECT has created a multitude of downloadable resources to enhance your children’s understanding of the world around them and to enable them to discover more about the environment.
Their new Nature’s School resource is all about bringing families together to enjoy, appreciate and protect their time together. By doing so it can have a positive effect on physical and mental health and ultimately our natural environment as well. Why not start by downloading a free star gazing app onto your phone and trying to find the constellations, satellites or even the International Space Station high above us. We’ll be sharing new resources regularly on our Facebook page, but you can also access them here. We’d love to see how you get on with the activities, do let us know! #NaturesSchool
