We're also highlighting our Bikeability training offer, which supports schools across Wigan Borough to help pupils develop lifelong cycling skills, confidence and safer active travel habits.

Whether it's paddlesports, high ropes, outdoor learning or cycling proficiency, we're passionate about helping children and young people discover the benefits of being active outdoors.

When we don't have groups staying with us at Low Bank Ground, it certainly doesn't mean we're sitting still! 👷‍♂️🔨

Behind the scenes, our team is always hard at work carrying out maintenance and making improvements to the centre to ensure we provide the best possible experience for our visitors.

Recently, we've been focusing on some of our outdoor spaces, carrying out improvement works to keep the grounds looking great, enhance the environment, and make sure everything is ready for the many schools, youth groups, and visitors who come through our doors.

It's all part of our commitment to keeping Low Bank Ground a welcoming, safe, and inspiring place for learning, adventure, and making memories in the beautiful Lake District.

Keep an eye on our page for more updates on the projects we're working on! 🌿🏡⚒️

🌟 What an adventure! 🌟

Last month we loved welcoming a brilliant group of young people from Leigh Youth Hub here to Low Bank Ground for their SEN residential trip 🧡

From 🌊 kayaking and paddleboarding to 🧗 rock climbing and 🧭 geocaching, every day was packed with fun, challenges and plenty of “I did it!” moments 🙌

The best part? Watching everyone grow in confidence, cheer each other on, and try things they never thought possible ✨

Huge shoutout to our amazing team (and the fantastic youth workers who made it all happen 👏) - we can’t wait to do it all again!
