Thank you to all of you who joined in our lantern-making session last night! You made some wonderful lanterns 🏮Thanks to Mani & @FusionArtsOx Arts for your wonderful knowledge, resources and materials 😊 #oxlightfest20

With our in person youth group suspended, we wanted to carry on with our lantern project. 🥳
Assisted by the wonderful artist Mani & @FusionArtsOx we created 'home kits' for our young people to make their own lantern creations, we cant wait to see the results.

This is not a party political issue and we need all MPs to support Outdoor Education Centres, before we lose them forever. Children have been so hard hit by Covid-19 and losing Centres will affect our children for generations going forward. @andrealeadsom
Tim Farron, MP for S. Lakes, secures meeting with Education minister over the plight of outdoor education centres.
In House of Commons 13/10 Tim called for urgent government intervention to protect outdoor education centres from going out of business.
